The frame set once belonged to Frank Moons, in 1984 and 1985 team member of the Dutch Gazelle Vredestein amateur team and one of the best racers back then.
It's a classic Reynolds 531c frame in a (for Gazelle Standards) luxurious version with internal brake cable, braze-ons for front derailleur and double bottle cages, number plate holder and chrome plated dropouts, right hand chain stay and (special!) front mech boss.
The frame still has its old colour scheme with team colours Gazelle Blue 15 with Ivory 81 seat tube panel. Someone tried to remove Frank's name, that was written on the top tube and protected with clear coat, but the text can still be recognised and read. The bike will be assembled with Campagnolo Record and some Super Record parts, San Marco Rolls saddle, Cinelli bars and stem, nearly matching the 1980s team spec. Tubular wheels with SSC rims and Clément Criterium (with or without Vredestein label) would have been nice, but so impractical to ride. I have to settle for Record hubs, Mavic MA2 silver rims and Michelin Dynamic Classic or Veloflex Master 23 mm clinchers.
