Then I took it the last 7 km with me on the bicycle, which I hadn't done in a while. But then it was home! So I took on more picture and checked the serial no. It is a 1978 frame. It looks very much the same as the pic in the brochure, except it has a drop bar, which was an option.

The weather is grey and horrible, so I will make some decent pictures when the sun is out again. During my walk i decided I will treat this like a barnfind. It is so nice and original, the first owner only ever did short rides around town on it and kept it in the garage under a plaid. I wanted to put modern components on it and use it, but it is just too nice. It will stay as is.
But this is my favorite Gazelle: the semi race. It has lights (that work!), mudguards, a kickstand, a pump and a comfy seat but also a 531 frame and fork legs.
