Gazelle Van Stael Mid-Step

A stylish retro city bike with a steel frame, hub gears and classic Gazelle character.

About this product

The Gazelle Van Stael Mid-Step is a non-electric city bike inspired by classic Dutch town bikes.

It combines a robust steel frame with Shimano Nexus 7-speed hub gears, giving it a traditional look with practical everyday gearing.

What sets it apart

The Van Stael is all about retro styling with modern usability.

The steel frame, slim tyres, Brooks B17 saddle and leather grips give it a beautifully classic feel, while the hub gears and V-brakes keep it practical for town riding.

Why we like it

It has real character.

It feels lighter and sportier than a traditional Dutch bike, but still has the everyday usefulness you’d expect from Gazelle.

Best for

Town riding, commuting, stylish everyday cycling and relaxed leisure rides.
