Like new Gazelle Tour de l'avenir 58cm 1989 £190

For sale is this stunning Gazelle Tour de l'avenir in a typical late 80's colour scheme. I've bought the bike from the first owner, he told me that he used it approximately 10 times before hanging it to the ceiling for more then 30 years. As you can imagine the bike is in a gorgeous condition, it has some small flaws but it really is in a like new condition. It has no wear on the rims and also the components are in a very, very good condition.

Bike has been rebuilt and I've also checked all the parts. The bike is equipped with a Shimano RX 100 SIS groupset. Wheels consist of Wolber TX profil's laced to Shimano RX 100 hubs. Technically the bike is in a very good condition. Pedals are not included in the sale. Perfect bike for everyday use!

Where are you??

Hi,

I'm based in Nijmegen in the Netherlands!

What a lovely bike! And a fair price too.
Too big for me but GLWS :)

Ok, here's two (most likely dumb) questions - Reynolds 525? And that chainstay bridge - is that indicative of a particular builder or just a generic thing?

Hi richard,

The chainstay bridge is nothing special just a generic thing that was used by many framebuilders. Reynolds 525 tubing is a chrome-moly whereas 531 is a chrome-manganese - to the rider it probably makes little difference. The primary reason for it existence is its ability to be tig welded, thus producing lower cost for the framebuilder..

Lovely frame. Did you wax it or something? Shiny!

Excellent, cheers.

Thx Tijs, Nope nothing special..

Ever done the march?
