That is not much!
My frame is exactly the same as the one pictured above, but I can't really discover the 'Gazelle' engraving in the stay cap. Hmm... except for that I would almost think it is my frame than. Blame pic bluryness?
I would think the ATB's can be considered among the rarest Champion Mondials than? Next to maybe ever rarer gems like the 'Aerodynamische racefiets', Tandem, Stayer and so on.
The Euclid is mint as well. I do not think the bike is moved much. Anyway not off road. The Euclid shifter and rear mech are replaced by GripShift SRT600 and a STX mech at some point. I will replace them by period correct XT thumbies and XT mech, as they are the bits that simply outperform the Campag counterparts hands down. I have a long cage Chorus mech and it would visually match okay, but that one destinied to go with a Centaur group on the Zieleman. The Zieleman frame is NOS, so I have a bit fear to make a start with it to be honest. It is kind of pity to touch a NOS frame.
Imo the interesting Campagnolo off road groups are RecordOR, Icarus, Centaur, Euclid. You really want to avoid the Olympus with the plasticy optics.
