Living right now up at the Recyclery in Evanston while I shop for all the parts. This is going to be a slow build, but hell. Eventually it will be one pretty pretty bike. finally got the details on the history. thank you classic rendezvous. Gazelle bought by Raleigh 1972. grand prix made in Holland about 1971-1974. will be building up my wheels this weekend and next. fingers crossed for parts to come in on time.

What makes you think of

Submitted by bite on 07/09/2007.

What makes you think of Gazelle? I can imagine that Raleigh outsourced frame building since their own manufacturing standards were so crummy. A bike shop owner I knew (on Clark Street in Chicago) complained that every Raleigh took 3 - 4 hours to get set up for sale, while the Japanese bikes were good to go in ten minutes.

Is there nothing worth saving on this bike (certainly NOT the plastic Simplex rear dérailleur)?
