very nice!! does that have rissé shock?

It looks like the Works Performance Shock not the Risse Shock. The Works Performance Shock is coil/ oil and gives a plusher ride than the Risse air/ oil shock, but the Risse is a lot lighter and easier to adjust.

There was a choice of 4 rear shocks: Standard Duty
• Air/Oil = Risse Racing Genesis
• Coil/Oil = Works Performance
Heavy Duty
• Air/Oil = "Clyde-Glyde"
• Coil/Oil = Works Performance

My original Boulder Intrepid had the standard Works Performance shock and my current Starship has a Clyde-Glyde shock. To the best of my knowledge you can retro-fit the Risse shock to replace the Works Performance Shock. The Standard Duty shock is a smaller diameter so only Genesis shock would fit this frame and it would not be possible to retro-fit a Clyde-Glyde in this case.

And as for shipping, you could always ask the seller to take the swing-arm off and pack it in the middle of the frame, and that would reduce the size if the shipping box.
 
...and there's the "Shipping Assistance" thread - Someone on here might agree to forward it from a U.S. shipping address.
 
Could be an early '91 Gazelle depending on the "USA" Decal, the Workperformance Shock and the serial number. Interesting is the 1 1/8 headtube (?) and the additional tube (yes, it's a L).

Someone on here should grab it and take it to a good home!
