Gazelle? Does anyone know anything about them?

Ha! Yes; it's a good 10cm too small for me, but will hopefully be the perfect size for my wife. Here's her road bike, which is 54cm square.

And yes, I'll put up a build thread when the frame arrives. Think I've got most bits and pieces already (including the wheels) but definitely need a nice silver crankset. Would love another Gazelle stem too...

Ha, yeah right... I think the whole reason I signed up on here was to try and buy a baanfiets...

@Diamond_Supercool Nice one!! keen to see a build thread!

@dicki any chance you want rid of your Vredestein Baanfiets yet?

took me about 4 years to find that
haven't seen one in as nice condition since
happy holder thanks !

Anyone know a source for decent replacement decals?

Looking for a 1988 Champion Mondial AA Special; Black/Grey with red strikethrough.

(Excuse all the muck, currently on winter commuter duty.)

I've got some that I may never get round to fitting on my track bike. If you want to put them to good use, you can have them for cheap.

I had problems trying to find Gazelle decals a few years ago. Turns out that you can get quite a lot of them from H Lloyd (THE decal people). Bizarrely though, they don't list them in their sales catalogue...

...so if you want them you'll probably have to email steve@hlloydcycles.com direct. Here's the "secret squirrel" list I got when I emailed him several years ago.

Alternatively, there's loads on ebay. Just search for Gazelle decals.

Unlimited Colors here in Holland also sell them if i'm correct.
Friendy guys and usually fast in response

Hi all,

I am looking for a Gazelle 653 or 731 road bike or frame set with stainless rear triangle. Toptube length should be ideally be around 57cm.

Hopefully someone can help me out!

Regards,
Hugo

hi hugo
you made it

can't you just go into the factory and have them make you one ?

hahaha, that would be great. Sometimes your think, "Why was almost everything so much better back in the day?" ;).

Maybe next year when Gazelle will have it's 125th anniversary.

Gazelle fans, gather round. It's here! Thanks to @mattyc for spotting it on the Bay.
