Dear All,
Gazelle Champion Mondial's are very light framesets with Reynolds 531 tubing.
Ive stripped it clean of unneccessary and complicated mechanical instruments and re-installed simple and efficient fixed gear transmission for riding in London and beyond. The rear wheel, hand-built by Billy at Brixton Cycles was bought last week and rode it to Oxford on a test run yesterday to make sure he'd done a good job, I confirm its a very very nice wheel.

Rear Wheel: Handbuilt by Billy at Brixton Cycles - DT Swiss RR 1.1 Rim with DB Spokes, 36 Soke 3 cross pattern and GoldTec Rear Hub. 100 Miles Test Roll to Oxford yesterday, and you'll be very happy with it, glad as I paid (180GBP to get it built)

Gazelle's are very light bicycles this setup weighs approx 9kg - its running a 45-16 Gearing which I find useful in London. Its been a lot of fun building and its a nice ride.
