Description:
Gazelle’s bikes are often referred to as the most Dutch bike. Many older riders in Great Britain and Northern Europe fell in love with cycling while riding Gazelles in their youth. Although very popular in Europe they were never widely distributed in North America.

Back in the day the SunTour  V GT group was comparable to Campy and an upgade from Shimano. The setup on the Gazelle is like-new and works perfectly.

If I were to keep one of my restorations, I think it would be this one.  It’s not some super-light all Campy Italian job, just a humble Dutch bike that’s a ball to ride.
