For Sale: Gazelle Champion Mondial A-Frame Full Bike - Shimano 105/600

Sold to Aches and Pains for 250 plus 60 for shipping for boxing and shipping by Tokyo Fixed.

Hi all

I brought this from dbr last week as a first step towards using a geared bike.
It really is a beautiful bike and very fast.

BUT the racer riding position is not for me and being a proper race frame it has no option of putting on a rear rack which I realised is a must if doing any sort of tour.

Here's what dbr had to say about it

--

Gazelle Champion Mondial A-Frame with butterfly brake-bridge and beautiful sparkly "Brussels Blue" paint along with white lug lining. BEZEMER decals on the seat-tube add a little character. This may have been a bike shop in the Netherlands who used to have a team - it may well have been ridden in competition. The paintwork is certainly in great nick and it has a bracket for racing numbers.

The frame has a 53cm ctc seat tube and a 54cm ctc top tube.

Built up with:

• Shimano 105 brakes, levers, DT shifters, F+R mechs
  
• 600 Tricolour cranks
  
• Campagnolo hubs with origional shiney QR skewers
  
• Mavic MA40 rims
  
• Campagnolo Aero seatpost
  
• Flite saddle
  
• 3TTT Record Stem
  
• 3TTT TdF Ergo Bars (NOS from Planet X)
  
• NJS Tange Levin Headset
  
• Olympic '64 Quill Pedals
  
• Hutcheson Blizzard tyres
  
  

N.B. One pedal is missing a dust cap and one brake lever is missing a plastic insert. You could probably get both on ebay if you're a perfectionist.

The wheelset was newly laced when I bought it, the rims being NOS, it's probably done 100 miles since then and has only a thin line of brake wear on one side of the front, apart from that they're mint.

She's a beaut and deserves to see some miles this summer.

I have never mailed a bike before and don't really want to take it apart.
The bike is currently sitting indoors in my office in soho and has done about 30 miles by me. So it is still in the same condition I got it.
It really is a beautiful build that should be seeing the light of day!
The first words of any one who see's it are usually 'nice'.

I am asking for £SOLD please.
Viewings at lunch times and after work are preferable in the soho area but my work can be flexible on some days so I can meet you at odd times during the day.

Just a shame that a race bike is not my thing.

Dying to get a late 70s Gazelle with eyelets.

Hey guys, she is a beauty. The paintwork is so nice. I'm actually having second thoughts about selling it.

No wait,... must conform to practicality. Must fight desire....
