For Sale: Gazzelle 53cm frame.

I have an abandoned project up for sale. Ive run out of room for bikes! It is a very nicely made Gazelle road frame with fancy cable routing, lugs and such. Its light, I was told it is reynolds 753 by the person I got it from but I do not know how to confirm this.

Minor faults on the frame are that;

1: It has been covered badly in paint primer (not by me)

2: The seatclamp area is a little bit crimped due to someone overtightening it onto an undersized seatpost (again not me).

With this in mind, I would be happy to let it go for a little less than a similar quality Gazelle frame.

Size is 54cm top tube, 51cm seat tube. (centre to centre). Can come with or without the pictured forks, which are very nice but not original.

I stuck on the parts just for the picture (I wouldve built it up as a very tidy geared roadie). The wheel on the front has a 19c tyre, and the rear one has no air in it. So You can see it is pretty "tight" and racey.

£110posted. for frame, forks, needle bearing headset and sealed bottom bracket.

So I this is a fairly good deal I think.

I have various wheels and other parts too if required.

(Looking for a rear wheel with 5+ sprockets if you have any to sell?)

I dont have too much in the way of rear wheels.

I have a deore hub on mavic touring rim.

And a mavic 195 rim on a shimano road hub. This wheel is in excellent near new condition with great tension, but the freehub and axle have been nabbed. If I can find a donor hub, I can get this wheel complete for you.

As long as the spacing is 126mm and >£40 I'd be interested, unfortunately on a tight budget

Ok, so we are looking at the latter.

Can I double check where you are? Do you want just the wheel or frame + wheel?

Do you want an 8 speed freehub on it?

Is this still available?

i have it..nice frame until it was shot blasted at armotex..ruined the delicate tubeset unfortunately

what do you mean "ruined the delicate tubeset?" :/

the tubes are so thin 653/753 reynolds or columbus light the shot shows through a rusty chainstay ..
unfortunately ruined the frame rendering it useless. drat!! ted might be a help at this stage..

damn, that's a shame, hope you didn't pay for it!
