• For many years, only top of the line frames (AA-Special, AA-Super and some early 753) had the rear brake cable routed through the TT.
    Of course, this was done inside the GAzelle factory.
    But many consumers wanted their cable routed through the TT when they had their older frame repainted and asked if this was possible.
    For logical reasons, Gazelle refused to do this.
    So, by that time, an A of AB frame (or even a Trophy category) with rear cable routed through the TT, was obviously treaded outside the factory.

    Later, Gazelle made new frames, even Formula range, with the rear brake cable running through the TT.

    Based on the style of fork crown and decals, I think your AB is a later production, around 1989.
