Hey dicki, yep, slightly more than I would have liked. But that was the reserve ($600) and thankfully it didn't go over, despite some keen bidding from someone else around the $400 / $500 mark. Now the auction's over here's a link Zieleman kindly shared with me where an almost identical frame went for £350, not sure how long ago that was though:
I'm happy as it completes my Gazelle collection. I have the track frame that a friend gave me and I'd always hankered after a nice road frame. This one is a bit unusual in a number of ways, not least the tubing and the seat stays, and certainly should be very light. I'm a happy Gazelle bunny :)
