Gazelle TVM

see this -> ISO 2mm shorter than equivalent JIS BB
So the token ISO BB is like a 100mm JIS BB

But try it out as it was cheap. Maybe it still works :)

Soma bars installed along with the BB. Everything seems to fit in, need to get the chain on to check.

Nice work, looks great.

yes, great that the BB works!

Forgot to mention, I will be installing DA 7410 headset come rainy season. Also looking for a nice 7410 Easton seatpost.

cough gumwalls cough...

This is mine TVM Gazelle. Ex pro bike, full dura-ace

You need yellow/blue tyres...

Sorry but I hate coloured tyres ... Only classic black ... the same for football shoes ... Fluos are for Circus ... :)

Irony :p

Looks fantastic, especially in 753.

I've made a couple of modifications. Still undecided on the saddle. I think a Rolls non-slip would look ace. Still debating wether to go white saddle / tape or black saddle / tape.

I added the Mavic Cosmic Elite (not period matching, I know). I wasn't a fan of the 36 spoke count on the Rigida DP18, and braking 2 spokes after braking hard coming down a step hill in the Mendips aided the decision. (PM, as the wheelset is for sale).

Chnaged the inner ring to a 38T, as the DA 42t inner ring was just plain silly.

DA 7401 pedals installed, thanks @HerrJ

Bloody love this bike... If it were mine I'd de-sticker the rims, stick some gumwalls on when tyres are worn out, black seatpost and stem, spray the HWY 1 black to match, black tape and keep the flite (I've got a non-slip concor if you want to try it?)... Or I'd get something with a shallow silver rim and keep finishing kit silver... But it is not mine so... Keep enjoying it!

black tape and keep the flite

I think the black tape was better. I also wouldn';t worry that the Mavic Cosmic Elites are alot more modern than the frame. They do it justice.

Black saddle, white tape looks good to me... Esp with black seat tube/ white dt decals.

Lovely frame and build.... Gumwalls could finish nicely, but works as is :)

Cheers guys, ive always preferred black tape.

Loving the the cosmic's, they roll so nice. I think I will stick with the Vittoria pave, not a huge fan of gunwales.

Now, DA post anyone?

Any recommendations for a nice 26.0 stem?

Cinelli Oyster is 26.4 and I don't fancy running a beer can shim anymore.

Shimano DA AX are pretty, otherwise a black 3t might look cool (but then you'd need a black seatpost)...

amazing bike, it deserves a nitto pearl

Hey Lovely piece of machinery colours parts the lot but thoses gear cables not so , give it some down shifters....great work all the same.

Finally fitted the Dura-Ace headset.

Gumwalls FTW & Gazelle AA-Special soon to get built.

One of these will get a modern groupset & wheels. I'm thinking the TVM.
