Cool, I'll keep my eye out. Bizarre size on the Gazelle, wonder if they custom made it?
No, apparantly this was stock. It does make sense though, because with quill stems you don't want lots of stem showing, kills the stiffness... I'm a leggy 6'1" and have a tourer with a very similar geometry, and it works really well for me. It's very unusual to have someone needing more than 59cm tt and you can make up a couple of cm in stem length quite easily (I would have run this with a 110mm stem - no problems finding a 130 or 140mm stem).
Also remember Gazelle are dutch, lots of tall dutchmen!

I got this earlier this year to build up as a winter bike project, but that's not going to happen any more and I need the cash... so it really pains me to put this gorgeous Gazelle Champion Mondial Type A frame up for sale! 531 tubing, this is a tall but not long frame, 64cm c-t, 57.5cm top tube. The type A was the "training" frame, so this has slightly bigger clearances (you can get 28mm tyres on this) and mudguard mounts - I'm told they ride superbly and it's very nicely put together. This is an early 80s frame, I'm told too. The gold paintwork is original and very lovely in the flesh! There are some chips and rubs (see photos - I took photos of most of them) but this is generally in really excellent condition. Rear spacing in 126mm, seat-post I believe is 27.2mm.
Looking for £160 ono.

Give the guys at Hope a call/email - they're very friendly and helpful, I'm sure there will sort you out.
Hello,
the thread is a little old but..
I 've got two questions about this HOPE bottom bracket:
-it is possible to open the bb for maintenance and grease it? (on shimano, on octalink it was possible with Dura ace, but not with ultegra).
-where it's possible to find the tool? And it's necessary to a have two keys?
(in other case I had the idea to build some thing that could do the job, a question of time..)I "hope" my english is not too bad..
A question from France, bretagne.
Thank you.
