Gazelle? Does anyone know anything about them?

Shallow carbon wheels for sure though.

Assuming you don’t get on with it, sell it to me? ( ͡~ ͜ʖ ͡°)

Another TVM owner here 🤘

Is this a 531C? Hope you’ve sorted the deal!

Assume this has been spotted by most

Shame it’s too small

Hadn't spotted that. Looks great. Also too small for me

Yep. 531c indeed (id love a 731 too...). Deal sorted, it should be arriving by the end of the week.

Can anyone say with certainly what the team bikes used for finishing kit? I know its a cinelli stem and I'm going to assume DA searpost. Any idea on bars, I've seen a few things that suggest cinelli or ITM.

If you were to buy one of the replica bikes as a complete back in the 90s they came with campag and ITM.

Having just 'read' that again. I see the post is a selcof/gazelle.

Also black and silver mix finishing kit. I wouldn't be able to ride it...

Looks like this was the selcof model

Just need the gazelle logo on it

To be fair. I see nothing wrong with buying a cheap Kalloy post and having it engraved with a gazelle logo.

Its basically the same seatpost.

I'm going to carry on this discussion in my gazelle builds thread. So as not to derail this one too much

spotted some NOS Time Gazelle pedals on MP, in case anyone's interested:

No top tube routing or number hanger though.

I've just offered to trade something with him... I'm attempting no purchases in January...

its a Paris-Roubais oddity... dont know my way around mtb suspension forks but take a look at the Bianci P-R specials, it'll be one a few other teams of the era were using...

'in the early 90s the ever-tinkering Greg Lemond and his Team Z debuted the Rock Shox suspension road fork, and teammate Duclos-Lassalle soloed to a long-sought victory in the Roubaix velodrome. That was 1992. The next four years it was anything goes. Suspension stems, suspension seatposts, rear suspension, they tried everything…but usually not more than a week before the actual race. As you can imagine, the results were spectacularly mixed.'

Yeah, there are plenty of those. I've seen the bianchi and the rockshox one in the past. I just can't make out the brand on this one.

camo tape though... thumbs up emoji

It meant we got pics like this.. so I'm on board
