Dutch classic youngtimer built from scrap ...

[gridno27]

OK - its long ago I started here a build from the beginning - and this build had a past...
few years ago I found a TVM-Bison Gazelle Mondial AA made of Reynolds 531C tubes but this frame set was pretty but not ..., the part for the FD, braze has been tored off.

... see here the previous step of the fame set at teh beginning


... but I an not satisfied and so I decide, perhabs my biggest failure to let him repair
I got an origin Gazelle part for repair ... but then I got the frame set back from workshop

here the frame set after repair ... and what do you think


:facepalm: ... scrap was my first thought

Well your going to spend money on a decent respray if your going to keep it but it doesn’t look a great repair job & hope it been aligned properly for a front Mech.....

Why is this scrap? Until you've cleaned up the repair and primed it you wont know what it will looks like...

Was the repair done by a frame builder? Chuck a BB and chainset/front mech in and see how it lines up.

That's an easy spray job. Only one tube needed if the others are ok...prime, flat it down, match the yellow and respray, add the decals then laquer over.

If you want to scrap it send it my way...55 ctc seat tube?

I was thinking the same - a respray of only one tube doesn't seem like a hardship for such a frame. I personally love this colour scheme, and would pay to get that cleaned up and painted.

where you will find decals with the same look as the blue on the down tube - the lettering is absolute plan with surface.

That's not so easy. On the other side TVM-Bison decals sets not existing within www. and my connection to Gazelle directly could not help with an origin set

...but follow and see

here I found some one, who made the decals for ...for the first


Sh.. he forgott the small fine lettering "origineel Gazelle handwerk"

Nice. Question - the stickers furthest to the right (fork stickers?), is it correct that they should they be all lower case letters, except with two upper case 'L's in the middle of Gazelle? Like:

GazeLLe
