You cannot say the word Dyamo on this forum without Zappa!

It is Dutch, a Gazelle, staple of the Dutch scene. @Fritz we have this thread https://omegaforums.net/threads/beautiful-day-to-ride-a-bike.2407

Has it got Bluetooth and WiFi?

If not how do you get your APP to connect to it, looks old enough to be USB cable!

I have my 1995 Cannondale (which I bought new in college) in my garage. When I brought it in for a tune-up last year, the guy who serviced it was clearly younger than the bike…he thought is was “rad” and marveled at all the “vintage” Shimano hardware….that made me feel old

Love it. I couldn’t find a Gazelle in the US but fell in love with the style after a biking trip to Belgium.

I did get lucky and found a Pashley locally which has a very similar geometry.

Cool!

And to your question, yes, I'd love to see more vintage bicycles around here. Let's see some more!

I still ride my late 60s or early 70s Schwinn Varsity with updated Shimano 700 wheel set from the 90s.

There is technically a bike thread here:

https://omegaforums.net/threads/beautiful-day-to-ride-a-bike.24070/

But that thing is really sweet!

Would take more than a thread to resurrect this one 😉

I ride a Surly Cross-Check. All Surlys are made of steel and they have a very dedicated following. I hear “nice Surly” all the time if I’m out very long. The bike gets far more comments than any watch I own.

My current race bike. After next season, we’ll get updated.
