^ Don't worry, I won't! I really need to sort some mudguards for it though.
As for the Gazelle, here's the frame with some components. Wheels are 9s LX & XT on Mavic rims with narrow Contact Speed tyres. Seller also gave me a set of 26x2.1 Schwalbe off-road tyres, can't remember their name, will check tomorrow.
FD needs to be replaced, rear wheel needs truing, otherwise it works perfectly. Thinking about drop bars, 1x8, with a bar end friction shifter for now, then later on I might get set of microShift Advent maybe... But no real plans, just crude ideas. Gonna buy my first car next month, which means even less money for bikes for a while, so this project might stay unfinished for quite some time.
Headtube is totally bonkers, but the frame is only 55x54 cm, so it should fit me absolutely perfectly. Will clean it up and go for an actual test ride, hopefully tomorrow.
