Gazelle Champion Mondial Semi Race ... my favorite Gazelle

1979. I like the Ergo levers for two reasons: their ease of use for touring and the fact that they can be combined with classic 5 and 6 speed drive trains.
No doubt the ergopower are practical. I love the geometry of the semi race, quick and comfy.

Went for a ride today. 18 degrees and some wind, lovely day. The semi race did marvellously. Yesterday I put a Velo Orange Postino handlebar on it, and a bottlecage holder. Loved them. There is something soothing about the ride...

A new handlebar arrived today, with thanks to @Guinessisgoodforyou!!

Gave me an opportunity to try that trick of taking off grips with a syringe and water. Worked like a charm. I squirted 20ml of water under the grip and it came right of with one pull.

I did a short test ride and it suits the Gazelle and my build much better. Very comfy!

Nice bag, and a good deal to boot. 👍

Mrs non-fixie bought me one ten years ago and she paid more than twice that, I think.
