**Gazelle 731 OS Champion Mondiale - 55.5cm ST CTC - Frameset SOLD
Finally, this one has always been a little small for me, but I made it work because of the stunning paint job, with lots of seatpost, a long stem and riding a bit low and long… Top tube is also 55.5 CTC. Great tubing, retired before its time. Again a few chips, but most covered over by previous owner, but not so many as to detract from the paint. If it were larger, I’d definitely keep it.
HS - Stronglight Delta (the nice one with needle bearings)
DT Shifters - Simplex Retrofriction
Chainset, Front and Rear Mechs - Campagnolo Chorus
BB - Campagnolo Chorus
Levers - Campagnolo, Chorus I think
Brakes - Campagnolo Daytona
Bars - 3ttt Forma
Stem - Cinelli Pinochio
Seatpost - Genetic
Saddle - Essax something or other, superlight and rideable
Bar tape - Fizik
Wheels - not selling those in the photos I’m afraid, so can either do the Campag Records above for a bit of Neo-retro, or I have a set of Campag Croce D’Aune laced to 32/32 Mavic CD2 rims (bombproof tubulars) that look great with this. Freewheel setup obvs. I don’t think I have spare tan wall tubs, so would have to give you ‘get you home’ tubs and then source your own. Shout if desperate though and I’ll see what’s knocking about
No pedals (again, shout if you need some)
Another full disclosure… The rear derailleur hanger was stripped when I bought this, so it’s been drilled out and I use a Dropout saver. The practical effect, is either you need to avoid the bottom cog, or use a 1-2mm spacer inside the dropout, so that the chain clears the lip of the frame saver. May not be an issue with higher tooth small cogs.
Split price:
Frameset, headset - GONE
Groupset - moved to components classifieds
