Finally :)
Clear coat still needs a polishing after 3 - 4 weeks, but i am very happy with the result for now:

Reisberg
That came out very handsome

Price drop for the Vitus
125 gbp shipped now

No, I did not buy it. The frame under your link is an AA-Super. The SWB Champion Mondial.

Offering very nice 979 frame in 56cm size
Very interesting and light glued aluminium construction. Internal routing for rear brake cable. Seatpost fixation through setscrew(not included). It has Jan Janssen decals as in Holland Vitus was carried under the Jan Janssen brand. The person behind it, Jan Janssen, were winner of the 1968 TdF.
Frame is in very nice shape. Hardly a sign of use. A couple imperfections in decals are actually the only thing worth mentioning.
There is no fork, as it donated its to my Vitus FCK9(carbon-kevlar) project.
Looking for 135 GBP shipped
I will do utmost on packaging. I use foam heating insulation tubing and everything will go into a sturdy bike box.
View HERE for more pics.

nice gazelle on ebay cheap, but aimed at the larger gentleman, nice parts
Still small compared with the 66cm AA I have here...

Reisberg,
Nice colour!

Hi Reisberg,
Yes, I know that one. Defines perfection really well.
I have an AB exactly like that. DAF-Cote d Or paint? The frame/bike came equipped with Nuovo Record. After having it acquired I entirely disassembled it for a an overhaul, like I pretty much always do. Frame was very nice, but not mint. I put a lot of effort in touching the tiny spots up and I am very happy with how it turned out. I have some experience in touching up, but I am very keen on not hurting patina or not creating an outcome that would hurt style in another way. Currently the frame is waiting for being build. I think it will be Nuovo Record again.

Gazelle conversion is getting on. Just looking for a Campag fluted or aero seatpost in 27.0 and some record/sr quill pedals to finish off and put together. Yes long stem is long but I've always found that I like a longer reach.
Sorry for rubbish pictures. Phone is the only camera available to me.

Nice to see a frame that once belonged to me again and notice it is well taken of. You find the frame also on Jan's site >>> http://www.fivenineclimber.com/bikes/gazelle/elev12k_ab.htm
I were 2nd owner. Its 1st owner lived in Assendelft Netherlands and had it specced from new with Victory and c-Record clipless pedals. The Gazelle had not seen many miles, but had been parked away on a slightly humid attic for years.
I would think you need a 27.2mm post. Original that was fitted in the frame was a 27.2 Victory aero example... Plus so far all CM's I encountered took a 27.2

Hi Ed
Looks very nice. Colour a bit like with my old AA. I understand front mech braze on and the two guides along the toptube are added with the repaint. Nice. All done at Gazelle?
I do like that Zeus 2000 crown a lot. Quite rare.
On the brake callipers: I see you lost the original end nuts. You can source quite alike looking stainless nuts at the Praxis.
-
I agree it is an A. It looks exactly like my cherry/white panel A-frame, but probably with eyelets taken off and internal routing added with refinishing. What DC mentions about Gazelle's authenticity requirement for a repaint can be seen specced in this price list here >>>

Uitsluitend Gazelle Champion Mondial frames in originele staat kunnen worden overgelakt.
It is surprising how many externally repainted Champion Mondials float around than. Especially given that overall the resprays tend to look very tidy and accurate performed, except for the wrong chainstay decal than.
-
Cheers Zieleman, Im not usually one for pink but its good to have a change once in a while, plus it was a great deal.
I used to cruise through town on a pink Panasonic MTB. I liked it and it was great in that nobody even thought of stealing it.
-
Good you're asking. I took closer look and spotted quite some interesting stuff.
The paint, graphics and so on is interesting in combination with the butterfly bridge. It is a repaint for sure.
It looks like the frame has top tube internal routing. This in combination with the butterfly bridge makes me think the routing could be added with the repaint.
Does your frame have these bridges? >>
If so, I am pretty sure we're dealing with a late 70s AA here. More indications lead to that (eg absence of eyelets), but with the bridges it is more plausible. I am kind of puzzled by the to me long looking rear drop outs and fork crown though. Maybe it is even earlier.
The 'AA-Super' decal could very well be incorrect. I have seen more resprayed Champion Mondials where it looked like they picked the model denotion decal ad random. Above aquamarine frame is a good example: AB decal, while it is clearly an refinished AA. Untill circa '76 Gazelle did not mention model on left chainstay, but simply "GAZELLE". Maybe that explains.
Above aqua frame had a race number mount fitting added at a later point btw. Probably with the refinishing.

Very happy with my new Gazelle bought from rih. White saddle, new bar tape and plain gumwall tyres without the blue and she's a beaut. Can't believe in how good a nic it's in. Looking forward so much till I can put it to some good use on LEJOG
Looks very lush. The optimistic attitude paint makes me happy. What kit is that? Gran Sport cranks, 600 rear mech, Golden Aero brakes??? Dutch pragmatic mix?
-
Roughly 500, but that is the 'collected' price me fears.
-
A nearby shop is selling this neat Gazelle 'Stayer' example >>>
A very rare gem and nice to complete a little collection of Gazelle bikes. Also great for what it is made for of course!
-
Congrats!
Groupset: TVM team raced with Dura Ace, so that is what 1st pops up in my head. Alternatively: Record, Chorus, final ed Superbe... Mavic Zap?

I just go my old Gazelle Champ. Mondial back from the painters..
Does anyone know from which year this bike is (Zieleman or Dutch Cheese)
I had it repainted via Erik from Neerkant and he thinks the bike is from the late 60's.
It has BCM (Bocama?) lugs but not the longpoint ones (they are more chunky) and some reinforcements on the inside of the front fork legs (i've never seen this on other Champ.Mondials with double crown forks..) Trackends and front drops are Campagnolo.Erik also told me that in the old days Gazelle had some special order frames (probabely for pro's) made by Eroba in Limburg.. It has all the characteristics of a Gazelle (wrap around seat stays and everything) but it looks a bit different.. I'll post some more pics soon!
The number is: 2274213
For that serial# late 60s sounds plausible to me. No idea of exact year.
-
Personally, it is eBay, so I would enter what I would max willing to pay, cross my fingers and I see what happens. True, that is how I always do it. Of course I would not unveil my interest not to mention my max on public forums.
On your 400 estimate: It is certainly less than it was new and you can't have a similar quality frame built for that money today. Good luck. Very bad time for selling frames, so you could very well be lucky.

The one with Noblex tubing in forks went for almost 1600 dollar last year. That was a bit steep. This frame doesn't have the Noblex, imo the paint is a quite a lot a matter of taste, it is dark and winter outside and people tend to be broke atm. It is though to say.
-
Zieleman or anyone. Can you tell me if the style of decals on the 731os are readily available.
I recently bought a NOS Gazelle Formula Trim but it has got a dodgy 90s white and cherise fade paint scheme so a respray would be good if I can source new decals.
ThanksWhy would you repaint a NOS frame? Is it that ugly?
Anyway, the decals below are present on a late 70s AA frame that has been resprayed at some point, so I would think that they are available. I have been told the aqua was resprayed at Gazelle ...so try Gazelle? I am sorry, I do not know of another address. Maybe there is, but I do not know it.
Here a Formula I had my hands on while ago. In this case the Hybrid edition. Went to a kind chap in Germany >>>

some more detailed info on this frame from five nine climbers website aka zieleman
dicki,
A lot of content on there is mine, but I am not the man behind Gazelle Pages. Gazelle Pages is from Jan. Jan is originally from Denmark and moved to Washintion state years ago. Jan's Gazelles you find under "Our Gazelle Bikes''. The AA frame in team Vredestein paint he got through me.
The bike under the link you posted is not the same as the one listed on eBay. The one on Gazelle Pages has Poppe & Pothoff Noblex stainless steel tubing for fork and stays.

Hi DC,
Under the sticker sits spotless red paint. I have removed the sticker. The name was on the sticker. I have been told who's bike it was, but I do not recall. The Nuovo Record hubs mention the engraved initials "JB".
