oh man the beastie has arrived, it's an ex Leon Nevels frame Dutch Cheese, Gazelle team rider from 1980's
unpacked it last thursday
at first i was underwhelmed wasn't sure i like the set up the silver wheels the stem looks a bit odd
but having spent most of the last 3 days looking at it and poking and appreciating it i must say i am very happy
the blue colour scheme didn't really grab me at first but now i have seen in in the full sunlight of an easter weekend and looked in more detail i am loving it
it cam with cinelli citeriums on a cinelli 101 stem. might switch the 101 for a 1a 80cm
saddle not all that will try and get a kashimax in white
front DA hub i think i'll switch out for a matching campy record so campy record pista hubs and chainset
will get a campy aero seatpost
haven't swung a leg over it yet for a ride but it seems to fit me perfectly. can't wait to unveil it when it's finished
