I'm currently building a '77 Gazelle I picked up at "Stalen Ros" a fair which is held every year in Ghent, Belgium.
I'm inspired by the pink 'n purple Koga Miyata I found in this thread, and I will paint mine in the exact same colour scheme.
Components are 100% new! I will be using SRAM APEX/Rival 1X11 mechanical. Carbon 50mm hoops, Carbon (chinese) seatpost, Fizik Carbon saddle, Schwalbe One 30mm tires…
I've built it up tot test the frame and to test compatibility. All worked well. Headset and stem will be replaced by black components, and stem will be a little shorter than the 130mm thats on there now. In the photo's I already sanded a big part of the seattube
126mm chainstays had to be opened up to 190mm in order to stay put at 130mm :D Thank god for 531 tubing :D
