53.5 1980s Herwerden vintage road bike Gazelle Raleigh Campagnolo ICS

53.5cm 1980s van Herwerden vintage road bike Gazelle Raleigh Campy Campagnolo ICS modified Mavic hub Chesini Grandis Zullo Alan I weighed it at 22 lbs complete bike with clinchers. It has no tube decals as to what the frame material is but it was made in Italy ... there is a small dent in the top tube--see pic. Otherwise a 9.25 of 10 perhaps. It is pictured with both the original Cinelli stem and bars and a Technomic/Nitto riser set up as well. It will be shipped with a Cinelli 1R and a set of Cinelli bars that are scratched up. unless you want the Technomic 'upright' combo, of course! This bike has a 53.5 cm center-to-center seat tube and a 53.5cm c-c top tube. This measure was from the owner I am selling the bike for and will be confirmed shortly. The owner is Belgian and he acquired the bike from one of Belgium's astronauts apparently. I might also going to add more pics and take note of any scratches or dings I missed when looking at the bike briefly a few months ago. The frame is quite clean with no cosmetic or structural issues and little use. It is Campy Record with Mavic circa 1986 period hubs and Mavic MA-2 clincher rims. van Herwerden Wielersport is a bike shop in Voorburg who my Dutch friends on a vintage site tell me still exists. van Herwerden is a very old and well-established shop that has been selling bikes for maybe 120 years. Quoting directly from someone with direct vH experience over the decades “they sold many many Italian bikes from the Veneto, on top of Gazelle and Batavus bikes from the Netherlands. Although they did sell the occasional city bike, they specialized in racing bikes. They sold Chesini, Grandis, Zullo, Alan plus others. They also had van Herwerden frames built for them in Italy. The frame itself is quite unique, with an embossed head badge built in to the head tube and other nice touches. The Campagnolo Record shift levers are modified by ICS (Italcicli Cycle Systems, Zurich, Switzerland). ICS was a Swiss specialty bicycle company which made highly refined modifications and customizations to Campagnolo equipment for cosmetic, weight and perhaps performance enhancements. I think ICS closed in 2001 so they do not sell such parts or modification services anymore. ICS “… dabbled in technical incremental improvement and bling,” according to a vintage guy. Again quoting: “(van Herwerden) also had the first ICS components that I ever saw, so it makes sense that a van Herwerden bike would have ICS components.”
