A joy to ride. Sadly, though, didn't get a chance to race it this year.

Neat bike; vintage cross bikes are tough to find.

As a matter of fact... on the first ride; just a sip, though.

I would do things for a good Gazelle cross frame!

I hope your race season this winter is spectacular!

This bike was fun to build, in large part because I used a mix of different groups of favourite parts:
- O.M.A.S. hubs, headset, BB and crankset
- Suntour derailleurs, bar-cons and freewheel
- Campy cantis and levers (which actually brake surprisingly well)
The saddle, 32mm tires at 40 psi, leather bar tape round things out to make a very comfortable ride.
