New year, new project; came across this Gazelle Champion Mondial AA Special frameset in 'Piet de Wit' livery on Marktplaats, seller not too far from me. Great frame, 531 from mid nineties so with the internal rear cable routing, Cinelli spoiler BB. Final build will be much like the RIH, but 11 speed and with a few silver bits here and there. Tempted to use the Columbus Minimal forks again as well, though it feels a bit sacrilegious as the original ones look great.
I was looking at this too, great colors but a bit too small for me unfortunately. Glad to see it went to a nice home!
Don't change the forks please! Get a nice quill stem for it instead.
The original forks are pretty stunning and it feels like a bit of a waste to replace them with the Columbus Minimal. However with the modern 11-speed componentry I do think the end result may just work. If not, I'll revert back to the originals + quill.
