Gazelle? Does anyone know anything about them?

If the Dutch weren't so tall my bank account would be empty.

Here's a cheap AA-Super.

How tall are you. Im only 5.10 and ride a 57cm 853 125jaar

Also (and mainly) lack of space. My 54cm AA Super fits me nicely but my flat is full. The whole place urgently needs a thorough Marie Kondoing.

Nice find, "vintage retro bike frame cinelli" :))

New stem day... destined for dadbike build... swept back bars, 2 kid seats, guards, dynamo lights... maybe a front rack...

Oof. Those stems are pretty rare here in the lowlands, strange enough. Something to do with the calvinist culture....

This is the inspiration, saw it years ago, been looking for it ever since...

Thats lovely isn't it.

57cm track - https://www.marktplaats.nl/a/fietsen-en-brommers/fietsen-racefietsen/m1584530777-fixie-op-basis-van-een-gazelle-champion-mondial-57.html?c=9b26ed2a557deff636f4f8b9c5b7a618&utm_campaign=campaign%3DCO_2019_similar_&utm_medium=email&utm_source=directmail&utm_content=similar_ad1

This here my old Titan team Golff Foreldorado. The original owner used to be their top dog and the team only had 3 of these bikes for their best riders. The others rode steel.
I found it in the local classifieds for a modest amount, but I was still in my retro days and couldn't appreciate the stiffness of the frame. So after a year I put it back online and within 30minI got a message. The OG rider's gf saw the bike (I mentioned his name in the ad) and wanted to buy it for him. Who was I to say no, so they came by, we had a couple beers at our place, double date style and they left with his old precious. No profit was made except a bloody fantastic afternoon with beers and stories of his racing days.

Work in progress. The butch Zipp stuff looks great IMO.

Looks legit 👍🏻 What’s up with the spokes? Have a word with your wheelbuilder 😉

Lovely respray from Argos Racing Cycles here in Bristol.

Meant to say. Its not mine

Also fry.jpg... those decals are waaaaay off, looks like you can see where they’re cutout through the paint, the font is wrong, made in the Netherlands is wrong, prancing gazelle on seattube is wrong, again on the top tube and so on... not that any of that really matters, 😬 soz

Fair enough. I've got a terrible eye for details. I just like sparkly paint.

Those riding A frames with mudguards, what sort of tyre can you fit in?

Sooo... who’s after some 753?

This one?

Yup... too big for me...

£288 - reckon everyone should be happy with that... if it had the internal rear brake routing and was a 56 I’d have had a go...

Yeah. If it was a bit cleaner I'd have bid. I've got long legs so can ride a 58 no problem. My 653 is a 58, AB is 57 and cross bike is 56. The top tube and reach is basically the same on all of them

All being well, I should have the blue A frame that was on ebay last week. Just sorting out logistics. It looks very tidy from the pics.
