Our take on the Gazelle Van Stael step-over
The first thing you’ll notice about the Van Stael is that it is a good-looking bike. It’s devilishly handsome from every angle, and there’s no denying it! The Brooks finishing kit gives the bike a lovely handmade feel, and the Continental tyres keep everything rolling smoothly along.
On a closer inspection, you’ll see that the good-looks are more than skin-deep. With high-quality components from brands like Brooks and Shimano, it’s clear that this is a true Dutch bike and not just a fashion lookalike.
If the looks and the specs aren’t enough to convince you, the test ride certainly will – the handling is light, the ride is comfortable, and the brakes are reliable. The steel frame is slender and compliant, resulting in a really smooth and silky quality. In summary, the Van Stael is the complete package, wrapped up in a vintage bow.
