This is one shiney steed! Not a high end Champion Mondial being a Semi-Race model which I would say is like the sportive model of the era but still a fine machine for sure.
Has a 531 frame with nice long point, cut out Bocama lugs and pearl white paint. Looks lovely. The only faults on an otherwise very clean frame is a dent in the top tube and a red paint batch on the inside of the forks. Dent has been there from pretty much day one apparently, no explanation for the red paint though...
Has a mix of mid range components which all combine really well and are extremely well polished, probably shinier than when it left the factory, even the spacer on the brakes has been polished.
You'll notice there is a lot of clearence on the brakes. I tried some 27" wheels in there which looked better but gave the hassle of having obsolete size wheels (plus they are not even nearly as blinging as the 700c fitted). I tried a pair of 32c in there and they were pretty much the same as the 27's. You could probably go fatter still if you like.
Price of the bike is just £200 + £10 postage. Dibs (honoured for 24 hours) then pm.
Full spec to follow. Apologies for the poor pictures but it rained today and I didn't want to get it wet!
