Product Description
If you search for 1234, you will only find bikes with serial numbers of 1234 and serials close to that - not a bike with serial number of 12345689. Okay, fine, so maybe there are a few bikes without serial numbers, but this is rare and typical only on hand made bikes or really old bicycles. The frame number of a Gazelle Champion Mondial is on the underside the bottom bracket shell as seen on this frame dating from 1979. The frame in the first picture is exceptionally clearly marked. More often than not are one or more digits barely visible. Frames from the mid seventies are notorious for a next to invisible second digit '1'. Page 1 User Manual www.gazelle.nl.; Page 2 All Gazelle bikes have a unique frame number. This and other details can be recorded here. It is important that you bring your bike to your Gazelle dealer to have it serviced within 3 months and If your local police force runs a cycle tagging scheme then we recommend that you get your within 1 year after you start using it. Where is the serial number? Created August 30, 2020. Category Maintenance. Before 2019, the serial or frame number on the white barcoded sticker can be found on the stair shaft. From 2019, the sticker is also on the undertube of the bike.
Gazelle’s bikes are often referred to as the most Dutch bike. Many older riders in Great Britain and Northern Europe fell in love with cycling while riding Gazelles in their youth. Although very popular in Europe they were never widely distributed in North America.
Back in the day the SunTour V GT group was comparable to Campy and an upgade from Shimano. The setup on the Gazelle is like-new and works perfectly.
If I were to keep one of my restorations, I think it would be this one. It’s not some super-light all Campy Italian job, just a humble Dutch bike that’s a ball to ride.

So, during the school holiday, i went to that city. This was our second old bicycle hunting. And at the second day, he took me to several places. At the last place, it was raining, and he picked for me the cheapest old bicycle there. Hem, i was sad at that time. I wish for the branded bicycle, in good condition. Due to the rain, i had no other choice, but to agree with him. He took me and that bicycle to the mechanic to repair the break and check the wheel.
At the mechanic, a young man came and asked how much is this bicycle. I answered him, that this is a cheap price. For me, it doesn't matter, weather it is branded or not. As long it is good for ride, that's o.k. for me. He stood on my bicycle for a while. I was confused, what things that he admired from my ugly old bicycle.The next morning my husband awoke me, just to show that he found the Gazelle words marked on the frame. It is barely seen by bare eyes. I had to use small lamp to discover the marked Gazelle words. Since then, i searched on internet about any details of my old rusty gazelle. I am happy that I found you, my old rusty Gazelle.
