Currently working on a '75-'77 Gazelle Champion Mondial with Campa dropouts. My dad bought the frame a good 35 years ago and has used it untill one year ago when I gave him a new bike for his birthday.
I was lucky enough to receive the bike as a 'thank you' for his present. To be honest I was thinking about selling it because I'm more of a downhill mountainbiker however I thought it would be nice to keep it within the family. I've polished the frame and I've been browsing the internet for some nice parts.
I came across Varno's topic for the wheels so I'm thinking of ordering a nice full silver set of wheels for the classic look. Plan is to run a 30mm at the front a 40mm at the rear. This combined with a Brooks saddle and bartape will turn out great. At least, that's what I hope.... Displayed wheelset is an old wheelset which I'm not going to use.
Hope you like it, included some pics as well.
PS; Gazelle logo on the front will return asap on the frame.
