5 of us of the 'Paulaner Radverein Tilburg' used up all but 2 hours of daylight last Saturday. We saw a nice bit of NL, in perfect conditions! Almost all of the Dutch Mountain Gradient Indicators were smiling, with their noses pointed toward us, the way we like it.
No wind in the early hours, some mashing from where we entered the province of Zeeland, turning North with a tailwind and then smooth sailing all the way to the right turn towards Culemborg to go South again, where the wind had almost diminished in the meantime. Finished off with a large glass of Paulaner to celebrate this beautiful day, already making plans for next year.

For anyone seeking to customise their Gazelle, kontour.cc does nice things!

cheers! it's still evolving... this was the previous version. That stem was too short and bars/levers too uncomfy and a bit bothersome with the cables over the bars. Triathlon water bottle holder was not very suitable for off road riding either, lots of dropped bottles. Found a bottle cage double mount, which is funky but nice, only have to watch out when I get out of the saddle to accelerate.

@Ifonlyiwerebelgian nice! good to know for future projects

8 sp cassette 14-21 also works fine in NL, with a 42 up front :-)

v III of the 1 x 8 parts bin build gravel rat. drilled and put in some bosses for the water bottle cages, changed bar and stem, now have better brake levers. Next step: fit the Kenda Flint ridge 40mm tyres I just got, and change the stem for one with the right diameter for the Eubios bars which I like very much
