Is it possible that the race number tag is screw-on, like a hole for a bottle cage? I had one like that on my titan (see previous page) and believe I have seen those on later steel Gazelles as well. Looking at the photo's there appears to be one of those underneath the toptube, but may be wishfull thinking.
Edit: on this yellow specimen you see what I think is one of those

Hi, just went to check out the pictures and you are right, there is a faint thingy in the pictures that indicates that the screw boss for the number hanger is there. Interesting because the team TVM one i have the bosses for the brake cables are different... now need to locate that hanger...
Thanks a lot for mentioning that detail, totally forgot about it.

Hi...that bike was in the hands of the old chairman of the W.V.EEMLAND team... I have no idea if the team back then was yellow and greenish or if this bike was made for him or whats the story behind but I could ask.
The other thing is that has no tab for the number so probably went straight to this gentleman from the factory. Never seen a bike in this colors neither an old gazelle for the team itself ever so probably only a few are moving around? maybe they swapped sponsorship after a season?? who knows, but no pictures what so ever of any of this WVEMMLAND team gazelles from this era. I know the seller had one from back when he was racing in this team.
The team looks like is still active and they jersey colors are red. Im really curious about the story of this one. Once I have any news I will let you guys know. Same with pictures of the bike aswell when arrives here :D
