Gazelle TVM Build...

Was just wondering the same thing...?

Good eyes!!

Picked up an old cycle sport magazine and came across this... in 1994👍

Also a cracking Lance interview which some may appreciate!!

I genuinely lolled.

Lance Q&A classic - especially the wouldn't do "drugs" .... to finshining with ... "wanted to win more than anything else"

The Pro Gazelle TVM picture is ace - Interesting to see the 7410 cranks (and shifters/brakes I think) BUT what is that RD ... is it Shimano 600 tri colour ?

How's the build going V11boy ? Any progress, unpdated pics to share ?

RD = Dura Ace 7400.

Pretty poor progress, garage space taken up by 4 wheeled machine, ready to sort when the nights get long & sad!!

Been looking out for a stem, came across this and thought it’s about the right era...

Got some silver soma bars to fit already, hopefully shouldn’t look too out of place with the black groupset? Black bar tape and carbon campag levers.. black seat, maybe silver post?

Nitto M109A bars ordered, 40cm..

Already have a black post to build up, planning on using black tape/saddle.

All the bits just need to get my ass in gear!!

Great shot, looks like an excellent combination.

Thanks John, getting quite excited about it now, sad I know 😂

Got some idea now of how it will look..

Anyone have any tips on how to protect paint from chipping on the top tube cable guides?

Cheers!

Back on the build, cables installed after these pics, still to source pedals and cages...

Black bar tape going on.

Nice 👌 - I’d be tempted to put a black Cinelli 1R stem and a silver seatpost though... 😬🎉

Too late for that 🤣

Finished at last...

Had the parts for months, just finished with a ti finished cage. Not sure if it should be ridden or put in a glass box!!!

Will be riding ASAP

Keep safe

Lovely. Don't forget to desticker the rims!

I would’ve done that a few years ago and subsequently regretted it, now I’m a bit older and more sensible 😬

Got another se of plain black Strada 40mm wheels I could put on, I’ll try them instead of being ruthless

Sunny ride to work, feeling good 👌🏻

That’s better... different rims, just a bit heavier.

Ride safe!

Nice! Frame looks spotless.

Got to love a bat-shit crazy colour scheme, I have a similar colour bombed Simoncini. Yours could be mine's brother from another mother :)

Yes love it! Never seen one of those before. Some must think they look horrific but it’s much better than the all black carbon machines all over the roads. Enjoy
