Too bad that the D/T decals are upside down

Well most of these are made in Ukraine, but when they were made it was Soviet Union.
I know, so please change the title of the thread from RUSSIAN to e.g. FORMER SOVIET

How about Ukrainian bikes?

German Textima, isn't it?

Scorch' old Miyata?

do you know if the blue is the original colour ?
Yes, original paint style & colours:
white 67 with baikal blue 68About the questions frame number and year of manufacture: maybe it has been produced in 86, but resprayed later.
Or the whole frame has been produced later.
Gazelle frame numbers (and lists) are not 100% reliable.
The spoiler bracket has Cinelli logo, later ones had a Gazelle cast logo.
At least the BB shell is an early version Cinelli spoiler. -
Rondje IJsselmeer? Really don't know why people want to do that.
There are so many other and better routes...
I think that never a new frame left the Gazelle factory with italian threading.
Only possibility is that someone stripped the BC treads accidentally and that the original BB threading was chased with italian thread cutting tools.
Even for a "dream bike", Gazelle wouldn't make a frame with italian threads. It would just be a silly request, not making any sense.
