Nice work, always loved that colour scheme and the straight fork on those Gazelle's.
It's taken me 2 years to find one, but I finally managed to find a Columbus Max fork to go with my 1996 ti Merckx EX, so it can finally be a carbon-free zone and replace the ancient Kestral EMS fork that came with the frame. I've only had it a few years but this frame is 25 years old this year. Here was the build before : https://www.lfgss.com/comments/14959305/
The black tape and saddle was all a bit Colin from Accounts boring, and like nearly every other ti bike ever, so after I snapped the rails on the black Flite saddle I decided to give Eddy a bit of a revamp for his 25th birthday.
Still running 20 speed Campag, but I found a NOS gunmetal 3TTT stem and replaced the silver 3TTT Gimondi bars with some NOS gunmetal 3TTT Merckx bend Competizione bars, which looks great with ti and the ti-ish colour of the SUP rims. New excellent condition vintage Look Delta pedals, Lizard Skins tape and the closest colour matching saddle I could find was this Iscaselle Tornado. Tyres upped from 25c to 28c for added plushness, and first impressions are it looks better and rides better, so its a win all round.
