Right! Who on here denied me this!! https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/192186945929

My Girlfriend's Gazelle Champion Mondial, with super tight clearances, a wishbone rear stay and a slightly sloping top tube.The history of the bike is a bit hazy, it came to the Racers after being used as a loan bike for the informal group (Meadowbank Flyers) run by Alan Nisbet around 1982.

In 1986 after the Commonwealth games it was taken over by Allister who ran the youth development role with the City of Edinburgh Racing Club and he remembers the bike being well used by the kids who were "a good bit better" than the "give it a try kids" and the bike was used on the UK outdoor track circuit .
Some of the kids that used the bike from (Allister's) memory were Carol Grey who was a UK points race champion, Daisy Sherwood who won the UK Grass championships, Kate Cullen CG medalist in Melbourne.
Jenny Davis used the bike before getting her own track bike and won several Scottish championships on the bike and went on to win a silver in the Delhi CG. After that it was not much used as they got a fleet of Dolan Precursas and steel frames kind of fell from favour.

^ Very nice! :)

Cheap Gazelle fork?

Oh gosh, I need to get put together a budget

Nice! So... Would you buy one?

if I had not just bought this before I found out about the new CM, it would be a serious option...

really like this... https://www.marktplaats.nl/a/fietsen-en-brommers/fietsen-racefietsen/m1171455758-gazelle-champion-mondeal-reynolds-653.html?c=8c285449651fa109c354bbabe740c1b&previousPage=lr&pos=13

forks are possibly wrong, may mean it's had a front end shunt, check downtube before you buy
the rvs's should have front and rear stainless steel

see the 653 i bought on here

^this one? Ah yes I see... cheers! I'm not in a position to buy at the moment...

While I'm here - anyone got a 110mm panto'd stem they'd part with?

Finally, anyone got a baanfiets in 56cm for me?

my dream Gazelle... always fancied doing a neo-retro version of this with athena 11 or chorus 11, some stripped and polished tri-rig omegas and low profile carbon rims... one day it will happen...

what is that first one ? the solar flare is blocking the name on the top tube

thats wierd, your post changed
initially it was just a list of three images

the top blue one with carbon black fork looked interesting

Yeah sorry - I was hoping that it would show the three images in the post when I embedded links but it just listed the links...

it is a Gazelle Démax - 1999
Reynolds 531 Trapezium (tapered). Campagnolo Record 10-speed. Custom rear brake cable guides and Gazelle/Time Club carbon fork.
