Hi,
Just received a lovely Gazelle Champ from @kifla (cheers Mario!). It's in really nice used condition, a few scrapes and scuffs but they all add to the character. It's pretty light and really well put together. I can't wait to get it built up so I can ride it!
I'm going to be building up with [mostly] Nuovo Record - so far I've got an '81 pat NR rear derailleur, Mavic GP4 sprint rims on Record hubs. Will be getting the FD and shifters shortly I hope. Not sure on the brakes? I'm thinking I may go modern dual pivot, so they actually work...
Other parts are 3t Competizione bars and 3t Record stem from @dolph. And Stronglight 106 chainset from @njclee - it's a nice Record clone and it seems pretty light too. I believe it takes a 118mm iso BB though and they don't seem to common, so may have to stick it on a JIS taper?
Also picked up a spare wheel when I bought the Record set. It's an interesting one. I think its a 50's(?) Campag Gran Sport - Large flange, fixed/freewheel. Will be keeping for a fixed/ss build I reckon.
Cheers
Nick
