Some (very) rare framesets ( 2 gazelle champion Mondial's & Mercier Gan - Hutchinson Service des Courses frame )

Hi,

I have again some rare frames for sale. If someone's interested please send an pm.

1. 1978 Gazelle Champion AA-frame
   
   

This is an very very rare frame, it was custom made in the gazelle factory for one of the training buddies of Johan van der Velde (TI-Raleigh). According to the last owner there are only two frames in this color. This particular one and the one that his brother has. It was custom made in the gazelle factory in 1978. It has an Roto bracket bus hasn't the butterfly bridge what was normal for an AA frame. They probably changed it since it was one custom made frame or it could be that this AA frame is a precursor of the AB frame that officially was introduced in 1979. Anyway a very special frame in a very unique color combination. Decals and paint are original.

Frame has no cracks or dents. Unfortunately one of the adjuster screws of the drop out broke while i tried to remove it. You can all ready see the threads very clearly, the screw is probably only left 2 mm in the frame. Needs some additional cleaning, but afterwards you will have a very unique frame.

1. Mercier Service des Courses frame
   
   

Very, very rare. This is almost the same frame/model as the Gan - Mercier team used during their winning streak in 1975 & 1976. It is exactly this one: http://speedbicycles.ch/velo/192/mercier_service_des_courses_1975.html

I payed a lot of money for this bike, since it was as a project for my personal collection, but discovered a small crack during cleaning the frame. The crack is exactly there where you tighten the bolt for clamping the seatpost. Therefore it can go cheap. Frame is still fully functional. Seatpost was still clamped in the frame. It is made out of reynolds tubing and has the long campagnolo drop outs. Besides the crack it is still in a good condition.
