Gazelle Champion Mondial Pista 1974

It all started with the frame set which i bought from a friend in 2009, after an email conversation with gazelle.nl, it turned out the frame & fork were made in 1974.

The frame was in a bad condition, a lot of the paint was gone (2 layers, it already got over painted by a previous owner,rust and to top it of, one of the chain stays was tweaked and the decals where wrong (newer type).

So i brought the frame to a Berlin based bicycle repair shop and for 25 Euro, the frame was made straight and true again.

After that i went to a established old timer Restoration shop where the frame was repainted in green-metallic DAF color way.

Frame only:

2012 Except for the rims (which should be Nisis)and the SR seat post (should be NR) it is now build up like it was offered in the original Gazelle product catalog from 1974/75:

I already posted the bike before, but never put all stages in a line up.

Fantastic job. I like the different flavours you've posted the bike in, taken you alot of work but it's been well worth it. I nearly bought an old Saxon track frame for a similair project but lack of finances stopped me. Keep it up!

That colour looks great.

Marvellous.

One of my favourite bikes, that - the other being;

Is it yours too? I was just looking on marktplaats to see whether there's a Gazelle in my size. When I first saw this thread I was disappointed it wasn't a sale thread, despite it being too small. Anyway, first-rate bike.

This bike is wicked!

Gorgeous. Love Gazelle track frames - two nice builds too

Hi! I know it's an old post, but still... which shop was it, in Berlin?
