If it's all correct @59climber it is now officially that there was no GL before 1995. The Gold line or mine GL 653 RVS showed the first time up in the officially 1995 Katalog...

Here is my Frame. It is for Sale, cause it is to young for my C Record built up...

I want those bar end plugs. Where did you get them? Also, really nice frame. I like the gusseted lugs.

Elev12k

Nice frame indeed. Quite special with the blend of 653 and Poppe & Pothoff stainless steel. Probably one of their last attempts to give handmade in Holland steel frames a future, while al and carbon were entering the marketplace.

Good Edit. Yeah, the Gold Line is quite ****edup by now

@dark: I can send you a pair of barend plugs. I got them on ebay a while ago. You have a PM.
The lugs called arrowhead. No clue who made them.

Another fine frame you won't encounter on every corner of the street: An AA.653 Triathlon

I have a mostly DA 7400 groupset ready for it. For braking I go with DA AX. Syncros Altura triathlon stem, Mavic bar, Syncros Ti post are a couple other bits that will make the build complete.

You do not care either about timeline don't you

If mine was 2cm bigger and a C record Headset mountable I would built the frame up, but like this...

Elev12k

I would think only the AX brakes would be not period correct ...but the story goes even Lance used them on a 'modernish' ride, so who am I to question the correctness.

no*dice

When? Do you have a picture? Was he ridin it on his own ride or maybe a tour?

I'll throw in mine, though it's not at all complete. I'm slowly accumulating parts; I'm hoping for a suntour superbe pro with barcons build.

a link to the gallery. In there is a photo of the Zeus 2000 fork crown I was asked about a while back. Someone has filed off the top of the seat tube's lug, and there's quite a bit of rust in a few places. I'm pondering reshaping that lug and a repaint, opinions would be more than welcome.

The latest addition to the bike cave: Vintage Gazelle Ad Poster

there are some great looking bikes here. can I post my Cornelo here? the frame was brazed in Italy but it was built for a Dutch company. the Model is actually triomphe so I am building it with mostly Triomphe components

no*dice

Sure,
very interesting thing these imports, do you know for which company they where imported? Does it has any colnago like engraving/stamps on it?

Bianchigirll 

Hi No*dice, no I do not know the name of the actual shop, but apparently it was a fairly large on. the bikes were named after the owners son Corne. there are no fancy embellishments on this frame just the fancy 'crimped' tubes

no*dice

Thanks for the details! In a German Forum one member found a Cornelo, colnago like a little older but as far we could find out a import...

paulkal

Here is a website with some informataion about Cornelo bikes (in Dutch ).

Hi Paulkal,
can not see any link or so...

In the late 70s early 80s I think Belgium was literally drowning in copy-Colnago's, or Clonago's as I like to call them. It may have been the reason Colnago introduced the intricate paint schemes, and some pantographing on the frame tubes.

Here's my thread from a year and a half ago: https://www.bikeforums.net/showthread...hlight=clonago

And some pictures of that Clonago:

(same lug cutouts I think)

s70rguy

I think your 70s Gazelle needs a pantographed Gazelle chainring .....

Which I happen to be selling on Ebay right now!

cuda2k

Freek - you're as bad as Marty tempting me with bike gear! If I didn't just commit to buying Nuovo brakes, levers & campy clips I'd seriously think about it. If the ring doesn't sell and I'm able to thin out my spare parts a bit I'll consider it once the dust settles a bit from my latest projects.

20grit

there's actually a gazelle panto'd stem on fleabay right now i had to sit and convince myself I don't need.

I'm still on the fence about a repaint btw. Any opinions.... guidance? haha

s70rguy

Believe me , you need it ... :-)

BTW, since last night I can add a pair of Gazelle panto'd Campy gearlevers to the lot ... have yet to Ebay them ...

cuda2k

I really need to get my hands on a correct Nuovo/Super Record clamp band so I can put my Gazelle panto'ed levers back into service. My AB-Frame has the panto'ed seat post that Freek found for me and it looks great on that bike with the upgraded groupset with it.

... I won't ask what length that Gazelle stem is.
