GAZELLE Low Profile Cinelli Approved Track Frame Made In Italy.
i just had to get all those capital letters in.

I got the frame already set up as a bike - a beautiful bike it is! A bit of paint chips and little surface rust here and there, but really it adds a bit of attitude to it. The Cinelli frame is paired with an unknown 700c fork, therefore, the lo pro geometry doesnt stand out and wouldnt give its astonishing original look.. so for now, the looks still aint for show yet, itll need a swinging 650c fork hooked up before we can do all that. then finally, the final touches will be made to complete the perfection it deserves.
