Gazelle Van Stael Crossbar

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

About this product

The Gazelle Van Stael Crossbar is a non-electric city bike inspired by classic Dutch racing and town bikes.

It combines a robust steel high-step frame with Shimano Nexus 7-speed hub gears, giving it a clean, 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 tubes, Brooks saddle, leather-style grips and polished details 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.
