Wore out three sets of tires already!
Got the Gazelle back on the road today. Also found a few more parts wearing date stampings. Removed a few of the bits, coat gaurd, chaincase, lights and generator and reflectors. Under the chaincase the original paint shown brightly with nice gold pinstripe boxing. I replaced the rear rim with a Dutch made one ordered from Dutch Bike Bits and had it laced to the existing Sachs coaster hub. It would've matched the original paint quite nicely judging from what was under the chaincase. I enjoyed the ride. Sits up high and with the frame geometry you really sit upright. Big chainring is slow on startups but great once you get going. I'm happy with it.

A couple more images. A part from the headset with a date stamp and an image showing the gold boxing on the chainstay that matches the rim's stripe. Sometimes I wonder if I could get the black repaint off without damaging what's below. Perhaps a future endeavor.

Thank you. Nice clear picture, BTW. Either made by an over-zealous editor, or this was the right-arm-only model.

I enjoyed that! We really must play someday.
BTW, loved that those small Indian players won on their pre-WWII designed machines. Awesome!
