Beautiful vintage Gazelle Dutch bike for sale

Recommended Posts

My beautiful Dutch bike Penelope needs a new home! Gazelle Speciale with 3 gears, bar brakes, pannier rack, integrated back wheel lock/pump and dynamo lights. The bike has always been kept in a shed, so in really good condition with barely any rust considering her age. Recently had a full service and new tyre fitted on back. The sit up and beg position is ideal for people with back problems, and even though it?s a fairly heavy bike, it?s a surprisingly smooth and easy ride. I rode this bike when I lived in Brighton and it dealt with the hills no problem.


Loads of lovely original features:


* Sturdy luggage carrier/pannier rack

* Full sized metal mudguards on both wheels

* Dynamo lights front/back - amazing back-up if you forget your lights!

* Useful sidestand and original bell

* Fully enclosed chain, no stains on clothes

* All-weather enclosed hub brakes

* Sprung seat

* Rear wheel lock

* Reliable sturmey-archer hub gears with tool-less adjustment

* Integrated pump

* Brooks leather handlebar grips


Frame size is about 57/58cm from top of seat tube to crank. I?m 5?11 and it fits me perfectly, but has also been ridden by my housemates who are 5?9 & 6?2 with no problems at all.


I?ve really loved riding this bike and am only selling due to moving away.


Looking for ?170 ono


Collection only from near ED station

    • Thanks P. That sounds like a bargain compared to other horror stories I've heard! 
    • DD, "Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃" At least the economy and unemployment weren't in the mess they are now. What is it, give the public sector a whopping pay increase with no strings attached, double the black hole and then blame it on the last Govt. Give me strength. Rachel from accounts shouldn't be anywhere near the economy. The final straw was increasing employer NI contributions and look how that's worked out. Month on month both inflation and unemployment have risen. Won't be long before inflation and u/e are exceeding 5%, but guess what, They'll blame Sunak and go.  Lets have a snap election right NOW, then see how poorly Starmer, Reeves and Rainer do. They're already plotting to get rid of Starmer, and if you think its bad now, you ain't seen nothing yet. Oh and did I mention Starmer wanting to stop Freedom of Speech............................................Normal people can see right through what him and co are doing, great at spending other peoples money, him and co don't have = bankruptcy. We'll just repeat the economic collapse that happened in Greece and wasn't it in Italy as well?
    • One of the best of Shakespeare 's plays.  I did Othello for A level. Also seen a number of stage and film versions. Is there any specific aspects of the play that is difficult for your daughter to understand?  
    • @Sue think this is your quote.  It wasn't binary, good Vs bad, and Corbyn had a lot of popular support, as evidenced by the previous election. He had aot of good policies, some picked up by others since. He was defeated by a mixture of a right wing press,good targeting the Johnson 'Get Brexit Done" and for some that Johnson was a funny loveable rogue/fool/liar/philander/opportunist.  I wouldn't see choosing the perceived least worst candidate out of the two major parties as being "good sense'.  We imagine that Corbyn would have been terrible, but we don't know.  He would have taken a stronger line against Israel in Gaza, not sucked up to Trump nut on Russia?  Would the UK be better for that?
