Ben's ever expanding Gazelle collection

It will look great with the mavics. Im sure of that but i will try it, just to make sure.

Light bicycle's cheap shipping option takes 8-12 weeks to arrive so its going to be a while anyway

Its gonna look mean

I like that! Have you decided groupset yet?

Update on the groupset front. Have decided to go Dura Ace 9100.. i just need to find it all

Excellent- not seen that group on an old frame yet! Excited for you! 🤩

Slight change of plan. Now going 11 speed Super Record. Can't find DA anywhere

Chainset sorted.

Apparently the H11 bit makes fuck all difference. (the h11 front mechs are just record ones rebranded) I know 4 arm isn't to everyone's taste, but let's see how it comes together. Just need to sort wheels now. Getting there slowly

Wow this build is a slow mover for me. I'm still searching for a stem. Quill,110-120, 26mm and black

Might not be a bargain…

Wheels look good with the bits of yellow 🔥

Enjoy the final stages of the build!

I caught a glimpse of something very similar to this in Crystal Palace park earlier, don't suppose it was you was it?

I'm in isolation in a Bristol... so unlikely.... but who knows. Maybe I stepped through a portal and am now above the laws of physics.

I did think it was unlikely, I wasn't aware you were in Bristol though. I just saw something nice and steel and a similar paint job and had a flashback to this thread I suppose! How's the build going anyway? Any progress?

Just found your thread, an impressive collection and a great build on the Team!

Progress has been glacial. But this bike will be finished tomorrow!

Done.

yellow spokes and red accent on the crank finish it off

🥵🥵🥵

Brilliant. Even the valve caps.

I'm deeply ashamed by the state of the valves though. I need to swap the rear one out to a latex tube with a brass valve stem....Will match the front then.
