Gazelle? Does anyone know anything about them?

that looks lovely, can't wait to see the final result.

Damn that's nice, looks like my size too, well jelly

Real nice 👌 looks tall? Do you still have the track bike? All time favourite that…

Soo good - need a second bottle cage though, or at least bottle cage bolts… 👌

It does have mounts. But I very rarely ride it for more than a couple of hours so one bottle is fine for me

Fair play, but get some bolts in the holes to stop stuff getting in there 👍🏻 (Or does it have plugs in that I can’t see 🤷‍♂️)

It's got some little black domed bolts that I suspect may be seized in. So all good

👍🏻👍🏻🙌

This looks like a bit of a bargain, if sound

A mate had a red 56cm version of this - it was soo smooth 👌 it will have a very tidy ‘stack of dimes’ weld down the top of the down tube similar to Raleigh’s of the same era - very nice indeed, but who knows what money the seller will accept 🤷‍♂️

Also, spotted an 853 cyclo-cross gazelle CM hanging in BLB the other day (stopped by try and raid their parts bin for BB spacers) - £1100 full build with some lairy rims and dura ace I think… only caught it on my way out…

This one?

Yeah that’s the one, though I could have sworn the rims were gold… Might account for price hike 🤷‍♂️

Popped into Pedal Pedlar the other day and saw this, Sadly it’s had a crash - still something nice to hang on the wall… https://www.pedalpedlar.co.uk/blogs/thejournal/jean-paul-van-poppel

Managed to squeeze in some 25mm wide rims in the Titan, wasn’t expecting them to fit! Rides nice and other 25mm tyres too 😎

Not sure if we had this one

It's been 5 years since I rode a bike of this vintage. Been too long, very fun.

What was the fun part about it? The bike looks nice but I normally don't really enjoy bikes of this era with noodly frames and crappy brakes
