Depends on what gazelle.

I had a Gazelle Formula for 80 euro's (frame only, NOS)

Aah nice, Embacher. Bought that book about 6 months ago, it is really nice, high quality pics etc.

Luckily I don't think that.

I had a B43 laced to a dura 7600 hub in the back when i rode that wheel. Looked pretty decent! Dura is the way to go.. Also think about a nice Dura crankset, those Miche's don't do your bike justice ;)

Thanks for that tip, although H+son and b43 don't differ that much in price. I really like this Miche, so will keep 'em.

Haha a mistake, how stupid ;d
I thought that the sharp part of the spoke had to face forward, to "cut the air"

What do you mean?

Probably around 120-130 euro's.

Small changes to the "Look";

• Black tyres from partsbin, they look better so I'll buy some new ones soon.
  
• My goldie oldie 3ttt Forma SL handlebars
  
• It was slippery yesterday, so I fel while doing 5 mp/h orso, bartape was broken.. changed it to some "carbon look" tape I had in my partsbin.
  
  

So now some questions:

• I do have limited money, and I saw a new ITM big one seatpost in the right size, only 20 euro's, should I do it?
  
• Also about the rearwheel, does a Dura Ace 7600 hub laced to a H+son rim sound good? Have to save for a while, but I think that will look nice.
  

Thx very much :)

On this pic you can see the colour a bit better. It's the only one I've got, as the bike now stands at her place.

For the eagle eyed people; bottle cage has been changed, my picture is older.

Wow, turned out nice Jan! Paint job included!
Did the guy paint the holes in the headtubelugs white or am i seeing that wrong?

Thanks guys,
My girl did that, cause my own concorde has it ;d.
The painter did an okay job for 25 euro's. I had to prepair the fram myself and I was a bit sloppy haha.

It's ready now, I like the result a lot. And so does she. Frame has been painted in deep blue. I believe one of Mini's standard colours (painter was a Mini restorer). Put the bike together with the parts above, only had some problems with the front merch, as it just didn't want to go on the outer ring.. really weird, tried it with a shimano 300ex, 400ex and 105, they all didn't reach far enough. Then found a really old huret in my partsbin and this one did the job just fine.

RSX levers acted weird, so replaced them for some sora's.

Here is the pic my girlfriend uploaded on here FB:

Don't have any more pictures.
Only the stem will be changed as this one is too long, allready found a 60mm, so this will go on as soon as possible.

For the rest this one is finished with a total budget of 140 euro's.

It is in the Pristin amsterdam store.

What are those tyres, please? ]

Hi Phil,

sorry for my late reaction.
The tyres are these:
http://defietsenmaker.nl/index.php?item=swallow-sport-20-tires-_-700x20c&action=article&group_id=10000074&aid=915&lang=EN
15 euro's for 2 haha, they're in a good state though.

Mario is a good guy and will ship abroad.

Where can I buy one of those shirts :O?

It wasn't expensive too. 175 euro's.

Wound ups ;)

You bought the frame from MP? 175 euro's?

It is really badly chipped :( and there is paint applied to it by hand.

1500 population :P

In a little village in Friesland haha

^^thanks, 2nd hand CK usually go for around £50... this was £31 and in almost new condition. just got lucky I suppose...

Really lucky! Too bad I need a 1 inch threaded. Got a 1 inch threadless in purple.

Nice, black CK set is also on my list.

Haha, I understand.
Stem I'm getting is a 3ttt pro chrome, which I'm really fond of.

Will get a thomson elite stem (silver) in the future.

I like all black bikes, but it's not my style, A bit colour isn't bad.

^I had the same levers on a bike build with full shimano 600.
These ones however aren't drilled, so I don't know for sure.

Rear wheel and seatpost are up next. Will se how nonmachined looks with these tyres. Cranks will stay, I really don't have the money to buy DA, suntour, campa or sg75 (etc.)

Headset is gunmetal, so will stay and stem changes next week to a non black one.

And as I said before, I don't know nothing about the frame, only thing I know is that it isn't a real Look and it was cheap (75 euro's, allready sold the crank that was on it for 50 euro's, so 25 euro's.)

This afternoon I'll pick up the concorde frame I brought to a painter who wanted to spray it for 25 euro's. So if it turned out okay, I may also have this one painted.

I would have never expected that bike was gonna get slaved.

Should switch out the rear wheel for a non machined and get more black parts on it ASAP. Headset, seatpost etc - need to be black. The cranks can probably stay but I dont think the skinwall tyres suit it. Maybe if they were the more amber/reddish walls but I think regular back or gatorskins would suit best with the current colourscheme.

^^Okay, this is a fixedgear forum though, we're hip.
