Gazelle gets some (more) Pantograph
A few months ago s70rguy was kind enough to send me a pantographed aero selcof seatpost for the Gazelle. While you really can't see the pantographing from more than a few steps back it started a slippery slope towards more pantographed parts. I had been eyeing the pantographed shifters that popped up on eBay fairly regularly, waiting for a set at a reasonable price.
Well, I finally got some, and this past weekend finally got them mounted:
Planning on picking up a couple paint pens this week to touch up the coloring.

Very nice!
There might be a friendly machine shop in the neighborhood that could do some brake lever and crankset work for less than ebay..

A slippery slope indeed. We expect photos of the full panto'd gruppo in about a week.

I have considered those, but they would be a downgrade from the retro frictions.

There is a Gazelle panto'ed chainring on ebay right now. $150ish is the opening bid! (plus shipping from europe)
I have the Super Record crank rings now, so not really any room to do pantographing on those, so guess I'll stay with the seatpost and shifters.

Well I have to be like the other cool kids and get myself some pantographed levers for my Gazelle.
I know it looks like there could be a piece or two missing but I have spares so am not too worried.

Ohhhhhhh.... you got the black ones. Show off.
Looks like the inner compression washers are missing from the photo, but they may be on the levers, cross ya fingers.

I can see one washer on the end of one of the bolts... but I have an extra set of record levers not in use which I can steel the washers from.
