Rosebud
 
Saw another specimen of my first "full sized wheeled" bike behind a shop window the other day. Rosebud. Gazelle "Piet Pelle" named after the cartoon character Gazelle used in their adds. Maybe a bit early to be sentimental at my age but hey, it struck a chord. Figured I'd share it with y'all.

Was yours purple, too?

I like that fancy hood ornament. Nostalgia for one's first bike is allowed at any age.

I always liked their logo.

Wow. Very nice for one's first proper bike.

I could be nostalgic for that bike, and it's the first time I've seen one like it!

yup, carbon copy of my bike, right down to the color of the rubber bands on the rear rack. Could've fooled me, except that my specimen met an unfortunate demise when I ran it at full speed against a tree.
