A beautiful Gazelle Sport Licht from 1962. Some Dutch brands like Locomotief and Gazelle made lightweight bicycles with Reynolds 531 tubing and Campagnolo derailleurs.

I just noticed this was sold by a shop in Vlagtwedde, about 25km from where I live and where some of my family lives.

Thanks for posting this beautiful bicycle

A rather nice porteur by Mike Flanigan at ANT bikes. Note the decal styled to look like a Peugeot decal at first glance.

Is that some sort of trials hub, or a track hub with a fixed cog?

Fixed wheel

A very pretty bike, but I'd want that front rack a lot closer to the head tube if I planned to put any loads on it.

no need for that, look at that rack, its useless for loads
those rods are flimsy

Wow ..... how fashion re-invents itself. Hat's off to ANT.

My only gripe is seeing a fluted seat-post buried deep in what is otherwise something nice, clean and faithful to the past.

Tongue in cheek humour with a pleasant nod to the past I'm all for

I bought a Fuji last week with a fluted seat post that was fitted right down into the frame which looks like a recipe for water ingress and seizing, it was original as shown in the brochure but has since been replaced with a nice parallel SR.

Probably rated around the 30 kg max mark. Pretty much how it was in the distant past, down to minimum flesh on only thin bones.
