Zieleman

[theredchili]

Not only is this my first road build, its my first road bike ! So a big thanks to Elev12k and EdEdwards for the advice and making this happen.
Im building with Shimano 600 Arabesque ( please see my wanted post ) and looking for a chain set and wheels to complete.

This Zieleman although a little chipped is a great looking bike, one I'm looking forward to riding

heres a few pics as it arrived ..

Nice choice

Nice little frame.
I especially like that two tone fork crown and the gold lug lining.

Schoolboy question...............what's keeping the rear dropouts attached to the seat stays?

Looks very good, can't be many Zieleman's in the UK.

A pragmatic Dutch build should suit it really well - will it be seen at http://www.retrobike.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=187272 ?
