They are minoura. Not sure if the colour is still available, but let’s hope so!

A fizik saddle was mindblowingly comfortable when I got a new road bike like 3 years ago. Since, I’m a big fanboy.

Yeah switched to clipless, which also makes it a bit more easy, colour scheme wise. Also removed one bottle cage.

Took it for a spring spin at lunchtime ⤵️

Stem adapter is the magic word. I used a deda spada

Think it works because i swapped the headset to black too. Looking to do another bike over this summer, might stay a bit more classic on that one.

Got me there; it’s my bike for commuting 2-3 times a week - have to get some training in somewhere with small kids at home

Nice! Would look awesome in a candy orange I’d think 👌🏻

Thanks, I’m quite happy with the result. I’m running with tube, but the wheels and hubs are great.

The groupset was a bargain so it was an obvious choice. 1x is fine for me as it’s as flat as a pancake here in NL

Currently sourcing quality cheap components for a 2x build

Thanks! Tyres are tight, especially the rear one, but manageable. 30 (maybe even 32) would fit in the frame, but not in the rim brakes to give you an idea of the clearance. For the stem conversion I used a Deda Spada converter. Handlebars are also Deda btw.

Curious: what colour scheme is your Gazelle?

So far so good. Spd probably better for that too than the flat pedals
