Gazelle? Does anyone know anything about them?

I’ve just picked one up for the moots but not tried it out yet 🤞 I get on with it as they seem to be available for not silly money and look smart 👍🏻

And in other news it looks like Seabass still have my old low pro on display safe and sound... sorry to see it was stripped down though - I had it build up to original spec :(

Why ffs would they strip that OG down. As if some bloke comes in looking for a campy crank and they'd be like "yah sure, we got one right here". Bloody disgrace.

To be fair I think they got it as a frameset and a few bits from the chap I sold it to... it was full Nuovo record with DA AX calipers (as they were just released and the rider wanted to use them but the team was on campagnolo - the frame is drilled especially for those brakes, rear brake routed through monostay from the factory)

This one is V@nice :)

It's beautiful! Modified to race is original in my book. I got a bit pissed off by the sight of it stripped down.

I saw this picture at our French friends and this fragment of a headbadge cought my eye. Doesn't look like a Gazelle though, considering the seat stays and the bloke on the left probably being a famous frame builder that I do not recognize.

Did anyone buy the blue 731 on eBay mentioned above?

Not me - had a bidder in at £500 from the off, what did it go for?

It went for 500.

I’m calling shill bid... but obviously I’ve no idea and well done to whoever bought it/sold it etc

Was thst the rusty as fuck one?

not sure - don't think so, it was a dark blue AA special with race number bracket
The TVM I think might have been on ebay before a long while back...

There's some strangelove gone into those builds

I test rode a lovely Gazelle HeavyDuty NL lowstep today. Does anyone know what these mounts on the downtube are for?

Love that, is there a build thread? Heading out on the Titan later for the club run, people generally don’t have any idea what a gazelle is 🤷🏻‍♂️

No love for the TVM on eBay?

to fix the metal badge to the top tube, I guess

Which bike was this a response to? I have too many Gazelles.

click/tap 'in reply to' takes you to the post that was replied

I was thinking about the classy blue one on the previous page 🤓

Pretty special example, with black croce d'aune. Will do well at this here local classifieds.

I thought I'd done a build thread on it, but can't find it. Its nothing fancy. A mix of potanza and chorus. Wheels are nice. Been out on a fast ride tonight, such a quick bike

Seems to be the only possible answer! Can't find anything online that would offer an alternative solution

it's the 'rugged' look, innit
