This
is a repaint, so a little less exciting, yet there are some
things worth noting about this frame offered on Ebay with
a starting bid of $297.50. |

Decals appear to
the wrong color for the frame, with it being near impossible
to make out the "Gazelle" print on seat and down tube.
It just looks bad. |

It
is always good to have a serial # to add to the growing database.
Here it says:
32?1837. The faint 3rd numerical may be another 3. My guess
at the age, between 77 and 80, is embarrassingly vague.
Seller claims 1970 which is probably a ways off. |

Here's the unique
butterfly brake bridge, which Gazelle supposedly stopped using
around 1980.
I like this no-nonsense design of simple stamped out sheet
metal. Fully in line with the overall Gazelle philosophy of
utility before style. |

The AA-Special
decal may or may not represent the true model of this frame,
since it is a repaint.
To me it looks like an AA-Frame. The chainstay reinforcement
were likely an X shaped flat piece of steel on the seventies
AA-Frame, like this: |
