  • Thanks gents. I am pleased the bike meets your approval. I'm even more pleased that it meets mine.

    The red tyres happened to be on the wheels when I bought them. When the frame arrived in almost exactly the same colour, I figured it was some sort of omen and decided to keep them.

    The next task is to fix the headbadge on properly. Seems it's been put on with chewing gum or something. On my other Gazelle, the headbadge is attached with what look like pins. I suspect they're rivets of some sort (but I'm almost certain they're not bolts or tiny machine screws).

    Any ideas?
