Gazelle - My New Love

Having lusted a long long time after the famous Dutch beauty I was lucky enough to stumble across a frame being sold by SimplexNL

I've built up a total of 4 bikes in the past all for loved ones but never one for myself, so it was time to change that. I've spent a shed load kitting this bad girl out (I could have easily spent more - but found some self restraint)

So here it is, the new love of my life...

nice conversion, only needs foot-retention if fixed, or rear brake if single-speed,.... and....maybe black tires

obviously someone will mention the saddle angle too

always wanted to give white tyres a try seeing as its summer - got a pair of black gator's on some beater wheels waiting for the inevitable turn to crap weather

One of Gazelles best frame colours.
The tyres look great with the frame but not with the bars and saddle.
Maybe change the tyres or the brown stuff.
The handlebars should be set so they are at least parallel with the ground or slightly pointed up but no more than ninety degrees with the headtube.

White tyres look good till you take them for the first ride, tan wall ftw with vintage look, brooks and bar tape. Nice ride :)

PS only one lever on drops is no go for me

nice bike! gum wall tyres though, I reckon. what chainset have you gone with there?

Wow what a great bike! Proud to be the former owner of this frame. Good feelings with this result! Best Gazelle colour ever. Wish you loads of save miles with this lady.
