Any chance you could give me a link to the frame number site? Cheers. Will start Googling again!
It's here...but I had forgotten that he took the DB offline, it was Dutch only anyway. There is some useful info on the site around the frame numbers...as your frame is post 1981 it appears that the 7 digits may just be serial rather than meaningful.
There's also someone in the US who restored an early 80's Gazelle road bike...it may give you some inspiration on the colours/graphics options.
If you do hear back from Gazelle do share the info.

I've got what I think is a mid-80's gazelle Champion Monidal road bike that I'm about to do up as a fixed gear. Happy to provide pics but not sure how they did the track models over the road bikes.
Have a poke round on google, I have seen old Gazelles on various vintage sites and there's a site in Dutch thats explain the numbering systems for Gazelle frames which could narrow the date for you.
PM which elements of the decals you're interested in; happy to take requests.

Ah yes. Dodgy plumbing in my office acted up today and some of us got to go home early.
For some reason it took me twice as long as usual to cycle home.
Dang this post ride cider tastes good.
-
It's from a bike lift in Trondheim Norway...

...and shout at his food to cook it.
Heh heh heh.
I love this forum.

Get well and get back on your pedals soon.
What is it that makes people think it's ok to just run someone off the road and then drive away?
-
Charlie, your last name wouldn't happen to be "Woods" would it?
-
What's the Met symbol for "Bling" in the forecast?

I had the same issue trying to find the Pave tyres. Got the last pair from a place near North Harrow but via their online shop.
The Paves seem really hard to find at the moment and a lot of online places seem to have them on closeout/discontinued. Not sure if that is a year model thing or not.
Good luck.

Murtle, have many shops near me if you are desperate. PM if one is not taking the michael.
-
Not lo-pro, but the ride is luvverlee. Wiil ride tonite.
Good to hear. Bought a Gazelle frame from Jos last week and am in mid build for a fixie.
Will chat tonight over beers.
-
Mine arrived in the post on the day or release. I'm not very far into it but so far it's OK. Far too early in the game for me to get carried away. Very dark, from a lighting perspective, night is NIGHT.
-
not whilst cycling, but I see weirdness all the time.
I saw my strange Polish neighbours measuring their biceps with a tape measure and writing it down on paper.
Perhaps they know our weight lifting comrade; assfuskingdisksucking?
-
Right. London is a big place and lots of stuff happens. A lot of it is completely strange and as cyclists we tend to see more of it than most.
Today on the ride to work I was passing the Palace and crossing the road were three guys carrying what looked like small children. Upon further inspection quite ugly children. No. They were carrying fully animatronic Gremlin puppets like small children.
These things were around 2 feet tall with the ears and big eyes. A camera crew was trailing behind them and they started filming outside the gates.
So. What is your weirdness spotted @ moment?
-
My 'favourite' kamikaze pedestrian spots: Soho Square and other smallish lanes around soho. Museum Street. High Holborn lights and the one way bit at Central School of Art, Smithfield lights near fabric, Barbican, City road ... oh... this is my route home...
Somtimes I wish I rode a clanky old rustbucket so they could hear me coming. Oh, I do ride an old rustbucket ... time to get the NoOil™ on the chain
Another +1 for the West End/Soho/Trafalgar Square. Had many a near miss. Voice is always louder than a bell and can sound more "urgent".
Worst at the moment though is Ken High St. in the afternoon. That combines the peds, fair weather cyclists, buses, black cabs, mini cabs and 4x4s in a mile stretch of just sheer road stupidity.
-
Woo hoo! I'm going to get to work on my mullet!
-
Well done aroogah -
I'm they guy who always gets stuck taking pics of whiteboards after meetings so that explains that.
That looks like some sort of bear-pit. If you were filming some post apocalypse Mad Max-esque bike polo movie, you would film there. I see now how the flaming mallets would help.
-
Yeah - pictures are on my phone.. unfortunately I don't have a data cable so I cant show you just how perfect the spot is.. next to Dorset Wharf Community Hall.
My dad lives 100m away so we are all actually residents. :-)Bluetooth?
-
Dang. That is like a ninja hidden cement bunker of a sunken football pitch.
I'm with Dano. No Polo bike either AND more importantly, no fixie "skillz" (yet)
Would show up to watch though.
