Long overdue photos of a bike I bought from our own Elev12k.

Gazelle "Champion Mondial" AB-frame, 8 speed Dura Ace, Mavic Open Pros, MKS Sylvans, Nokon housing, Rolls, Specialized (Nitto?) stem and bars. I could ride this bike all day and never get tired of it.

Yes, that was I lovely NOS frame you got. Great to hear you're enjoying it this much!

A member on Retrobike scanned many Gazelle catalogues recently. It looks like we can see your frame in the 1989 catalogue :)

That looks great! I love this paint scheme. Can't beat the DA 7400.

Wow! Super nice bike. Killer headbage. I've not seen that type of cable housing. What is it?
