1977 Gazelle Tour de l’Avenir 65cm

A quality Dutch classic comes in an eye-catching metallic cherry-red colour. The original paint and decals are in excellent condition considering the bike is 45 years old! The Gazelle Tour de l’Avenir was the Gazelle's second from top-of-the-range bike at the time and features nice detailed lugs and a characteristic wrap-around seat stay cluster. The bike has a touring pedigree with a relatively relaxed geometry and front and rear eyelets for mudguards and or bag carriers - making this a great base for a vintage randonneur/touring bicycle. 

Shimano 600 5x2 drivetrain with nice Arabesque crank. The original Maeda freewheel is as smooth as a whistle, as are the original Normandy high flange hubs lace to Weinmann aluminium rims. Shimano Tourney brakes with vintage Dura Ace brake blocks.

The bike has an extra extra large 65cm centre-to-top frame suitable for people 185cm and above.

New Michelin Dynamic Classic tires 25-622 are comfy yet sporty for active city riding, new Continental inner tubes, new Elvedes stainless steel brake and gear cables, new Bike Ribbon bar rape, new brake hoods, new saddle.
