I have to sell this bike as I don't ride it, and to tell you the truth I have only ridden it twice. It is built up with fancy parts and if it's not to anyones taste I will rip it up and sell the parts on the bay.
it's a 70s Gazelle. 58.5cm seat tube ctc. 56.5cm ctc bb to top tube straight up.
57cm top tube length. 84.5cm standover height.
No dings or chips. I have put a leather cover on the top tube to complement the leather saddle and grips and stop the frame getting damaged in any crazy moments of bar-rage.
I built this up as a wet weather bike and rode it twice and then built up a far more expensive bike which negated this one. It has new everything, it's great, but a bit of a folly so maybe not everyones cup of tea.

Hope I've described it all. It cost a shy over £1000 to build, it is a folly but I'd like £600 for it otherwise I'll split it. Here's some pics
