Thanks, that makes things more clear.

I guess I'm a lazy bastard 'cause I found a lot on fivenineclimber's website: http://fivenineclimber.com/bikes/gazelle/frisol.htm. I'm not sure about the the bracket. I geuss it has been cast because it has some (4?) parallel slots in it. Unfortunately I wasn't able to make any pic's. The fork crown was kind of angled and not at all looking like the one in 59climber's site. It is fully chromed.

Ik kan een Champion Mondial frameset verwerven in 56 cm c/c. Voor zover ik kan lezen is het framenummer 3234371 (de '2' kan ook iets anders zijn) welke samen met 'GAZELLE' is ingeslagen op een bracketpot, waarop ook 'cota' en 'Italy' staat. Op de balhoofdlug staan aan de voorzijde de merkjes 'B' en 'M'. De staande achtervorkscheden zijn gekruld bevestigd over de bovenbuis en raken elkaar bij de punten. Het frame is uitgevoerd in een soort groenig parelmoer en heeft 'kliko'-groene panelen. Randen van sommige lugs zijn roestig en er lopen her en der wat 'roestwormpjes' onder de verf. De voorvork is volledig verchroomd en van Reynolds 531-buis. Op het frame zijn alleen nog restanten van deze sticker te zien.Dropouts zijn Campagnolo. Heeft iemand enig idee wat de leeftijd van dit frame is (en wat is een reële waarde)? Volgende week mss foto's.
Summary in English: I can acquire a CM-frameset with 3234371, 'GAZELLE', 'cota' and 'Italy' stamped(?) on the bracket. On the frontside of the headset lugs are engraved/stamped 'B' en 'M'. The topends of the rear forkstays are bent over the toptube. Same edges of the lugs have rust on them, there's some rust under the paint also. Dropouts are Campagnolo. Does anyone have a clue about the age of it and of the approximate value?

Great!
Well, Gazelle has been helpfull in the past. It's great to have the catalogs online also (see last page).

Thanks, I checked the catalogues. My guess for the blue is 'baikalblauw 68'. Do you agree? Funny you have to get all this knowledge from a forum: Gazelle unfortunately can't come up with the info.

Here's a pic:
I figure it is from '89 and originally had a wide fork crown (not uni-crown) as it is shown like that in the '89 catalogue. Does anyone know what this colour is called? Thanks.
Nice bikes btw!

Ow, and I have canti-bosses on the seatstays but I understand from previous posts that bosses on the chainstays are an option. Sorry for the erratic posting...
-
I was wondering which year it is from because it has the new style decals and the '89 catalogue shows the old style. Also in the '91 catalogue it is called Champion Mondial instead of All Terrain Bike ánd it has got the new style decals.
I see it is shown in the '89 catalogue with a 'All terrain bike' decal but called 'Champion Mondial' I understand what you mean now, DutchCheese. Ánd it has got a wide forkcrown, I'm happy with that for good looks-sake! ;)

Thanks for the feedback! Pic's are coming this weekend. I was wondering which year it is from because it has the new style decals and the '89 catalogue shows the old style. Also in the '91 catalogue it is called Champion Mondial instead of All Terrain Bike ánd it has got the new style decals. Frame number is 3328192. Numbers starting with 33.. where issued from '77 on until an unknown (to me) year.
Frame details: toptube cablerouting, bottle bosses on seattube too. I kind of hope the fork has the wide crown. I think a similar one can be sourced. If it originally had a unicrown, could it be the same fork as the M-Bike had in e.g. '98?
Thanks for the tip on the frameset: I'm interested but can't receive private messages yet (I'm active on Dirty-pages.net though). As far as suspension, I'll have to gain some knowledge about the one(s) mentioned. I take it the framegeometry is not sus-ready?
Thanks again for your knowledge!
Yup, I was lazy, but then after I posted...! ;D
I read the 1976 and 1980 catalogue and guess it is 78-ish because it has external cable routing and cable routing above the BB shell and is in Frisol-teamcolours. Thanks for the input!
