• Found a Gazelle Cross Trophy through a local sales website. It wasn't in a good condition but it doesn't have any dents and it was cheap.

    Will go for the SSCX way. Stripped the whole bike and what I kept were:

    • Frameset, Gazelle Cross trophy from around 1986.
    • Wheels, unmatching pair, quite light for their age.
    • TA cx chainset 44t with double bashguard.

    Ordered some fluor yellow and green outer cables (found them crazy cheap over here: http://www.cable-shop.nl/index1.html (dutch website).

    Went through my own partsbox to find:

    • Shimano 600 aero levers
    • Bontrager 'spotter' ssr vr-c bars (had bought them for a project which didn't take off properly).

    Then through the shops warehouse:

    • Continental 35c tyres which fitted only just
    • New inner cables
    • Brake shoes
    • Chain
    • Freewheel
    • Bartape
    • Some second hand SPD pedals



    So there are some small problems:

    • Have to regrease the BB
    • Little play on the BB
    • Have to run through (don't know the word) the seatpost before I'll fit the post
    • Lost a special part that is needed for the front canti, so I'll have to find a solution for that.

    Tips and hints are welcome!
