Unknown Bike Emblem

[Eric A]

The emblem on this unidentified bike is a circle with a (running) gazelle. Emblem is pressed into the fork crowns and onto a small round plate that is part of the brake bar between the seat stays.

Just curious...anyone have any idea what manufacturer made this frame? Older steel frame, maybe good stuff, unknown though. Downtube shifters, classic lugs. No other identifying marks.

I wanna say I've seen it, but I can't think of where. My eyes are out for it now.

Does it look like the emblem from the bikes here?

Rather little known brand in these parts

Yes, it looks similar to the company icon. This is an older road bike, circa mid-eighties. There's no pump braze-ons so I think it's after the "classics" era.

Very close on the emblem...I'll try to get a pic on it.
