Gazelle Champion Mondial 'Bas Hordijk"

Just bought this from the bay

The guy who had it previously has harvested some parts from it, so I am looking to get it back to original spec

Nice. I may have a nos Turbo saddle that'd be perfect for this.

Looks really nice. I think black tape and black tyres would be a good shout.
Has the previous owner nabbed a chainring? Also your quick release sqewer is on the wrong way

Previously it had bar end shifters, nuovo record seatpost, mafac levers, 5 speed block, nuovo record pedals

I am about to break up a bike that has vintage Campagnolo Bar End Shifters if you are interested.

my old gazelle, its a shame that it got chopped up as the original spec was excellent

Jingle jangle yes very interested

jonny I don't understand why this bike was used for bits

The buyer wanted the campagnolo record group for his bob jackson similar year build. As it had bar end shifters and all the campagnolo guides that was his score. It was also geared very high hence the dutch pro 'bas hordijk'. Its a shame as this is by far the nicest gazelle I had and seen in a while, it was truly unique.

I am about to break up a bike that has vintage Campagnolo Bar End Shifters if you are interested.

Dibs in case deal with jools182 is off.

Very nice Gazelle project.

Cheers, and sorry but i need the shifters

keep me posted on the build jools182, if you need any more info dont hesitate to ask

No doubt I'll be asking more questions, thanks jonny

Hi,

Almost bought ths bike. it was for sale by a collector mechanic from a dutch bikeclub. a really cool crazy collector guy i just met in real life yesterday at a retrorit in amerongen the netherlands. this bike has some great history. bas hordijk was a great promosing cyclist who rode also for ti raleigh and amstel gazelle. unfortunately he died at an age 25 http://www.dewielersite.net/db2/wielersite/coureurfiche.php?coureurid=9219

This was the bike i wanted to buy as my first vintage bike. i just got introduced to steel cycling this year and no i am allready hooked. I wanted a more recent daily bike. so i boughed an more recent Champion mondial super campa vicory 87 insetad and Koga fullpro 81 dua ex for the vintage touring.

Have fun with this great bike. ask piet schafthuizen for the original specs.
cheers,

Well said, I travelled to Schiedam in June to collect the gazelle bas hordijk from Piet Schafthuizen house. He has a very impressive collection of racefietsen, and his campagnolo collection is by far the most impressive I've seen.

Piet said he acquired the gazelle from bas hordijk brother

Hi,

Almost bought ths bike. it was for sale by a collector mechanic from a dutch bikeclub...

Hey, we must have met yesterday in Amerongen...
Welcome here.

I managed to get the original block and very hard to find downtube cable stop from the previous owner

I also got some mafac levers and some bar end shifters

Any thoughts on cable outer colour?

Should I stick with grey?

Gazelle company rule was decal colour = cable colour = bar tape colour.

WOW! very fine indeed, very nice!

nice. really cool that you have done it like piet advised. looks the part
