Crap day at work leads to finding crap bikes...
currently at 10 english 'pow''nds. Surely worth it for the amount of steel you could
get out of smelting it down ? Anyone know the recent prices for a ton of steel ? -
Lovely looking bike and in great condition! Well worth the money!

ED-
Are they on your bike ? they look nice.
Where are pics for the rest of the bike I want to have a look.
Cheers,
jjust saw this comment, the bar is 40cm, wanted a 42cm but it'll do and it's not narrow enough to construct my chest.
as for the stem, I'll be using an ahead stem, but quill stem are doable, I seen some example on flickr, however I'll do some test with a 26 clamp size stem and a 26.4 Cinelli with shim to see which'll able to go through the aero section;

Bought some honey coloured brooks tape off ebay for 29.99 then polished it with black shoe polish to match the saddle. Looks alright I think....
(sorry about the poor excuse for posting pics of me bike ;) )

Its a fad.
going veggie is valid but going raw
is a fad- would you have gone raw
without knowing about it first ?I say go raw if you fancy it but at
some point the response of your body
will tell you if its for you. -
At 99 percent of chip shops you can't buy crumble.

The Japanese are the best at 'special' individualistic fixed wheels.
Where's it saying that?

Hello all,
I recently saw a front brake lever on a bike for sale on ebay
and went to save the pic to put on here but can't find it now ?The lever was a dual pivot (?) one lever was 3 finger the other was 2.
It was positioned close to the stem and was running to a shimano 105
front brake. The level clamp was boxy in appearance-
ANy ideas?????Thanks

Hello
I am in Tokyo so if that sounds too much of a hassle already you don't have to read on...
I have a set of 650c- front and rear.
Front is Dura Ace Q/R hub and either Mavic or campy black rim.
Rear is Campy with either Mavic or Campy rim.Only track use - no rim wear. Inc. tyres.
If interested-
Send mail to decent_management at yahoo .co .uk if you want more pics.Cheer,
James -
Hi there
good its coming along.
No - my seat stays are different to Habituals model. He say his is a 1976
whereas mine is from between 1969-1974??If fact the seat stays that fold around and taper to the frame are a trait of the mondial but I believe these may have been introduced after my bike was produced.
I am guessing between 1967-1974 the company was trying to get things right as the team was really new so different things were tried hence what we call irregularities
pop up.My lugs are also slightly more intricate but similar and my forks are too,Gotta go
J
Yeah, I've been talking to numerous people and they all say the frame is produced between '76 and '78.
Habitual's bike and yours have the same kind of seat stay ends, right?
I'll upload some pics of the bike when it's really done. It's rolling right now, but it still isn't completely period correct.

Hi there tjeu
The reynolds stickers on your frame were produced after 1975-6.
Prior to this the stickers didnt have the address on and there were a couple of
other differences.Try a web search to find out.
That is why I think your Gazelle is an early model.
That and the fact it does not have the wrap-around seat stays that are such a Gazelle trait.Cheers,
jThanks. Yes it's gorgeous, but I traded it for a Colnago Super Mexico '77 ORO road frame. Like this one: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3435/3176559097_3cdb3bed7c.jpg
Which is pretty damn rare, so if the Gazelle turned out to be a fake... That'd suck.Still, I do believe it's a real Gazelle, because I got it from a serious collector and I've had one other collector say it's a real Gazelle.
@Dutch Cheese All the info I could find on the frame indicates it's indeed an early '70's frame. The BB shell however doesn't have ANY engravings. Nor do the fork and frame dropouts. Kinda weird...
-
Thanks for everyones help.
I know tjeu was having trouble so maybe someone at five nine can help.If you
have no serial it may be a early riders bike! Way cool.If your having trouble dating your bike there are some contacts on Five nine climber website ( fivenineclimber . com ) who
really might help...I spoke to Habitual ,who has a lovely Gazell track,and after reading around
five nine climber website which has lots of Gazelle info
all over I have nailed the date (someones letter on the site) and the colour (a letter from the Gazelle factory as it was as an option ) to 1970 which is cool as it is just around when they started the Willem (?) Gazelle team which
was important in the development of Gazelle and of the CHampion Mondial moniker which they rode on.Anyway,thanks,
J
On the left is the number 70 which is the year, followed by serial No followed by Gazelle stamped in the same direction as the 70. All info off fivenineclimber.
