Gazelle champion mondail AB or Concorde mistral better value ?
Hi all I have to choose between either a 1981 gazelle champion mondial AB full bike for around €400 I will post a pic of specs it has reynolds 531 tubing.
Or a Concorde mistral frame with headset and BB for €160. This frame has columbus alle tubing
This is the Concorde
And this is the same frame as the gazelle would be but the one if be gettin would be a full bike.
Which would be better value ?

As long as it fits, the Gazelle by a wide margin.

Looking again at what is on the Gazelle, I think 400Euro might be a bit steep. If it were all Campa Record, then maybe so.

Good if you can...go lower if possible. Do consider my comments are just my opinion. I have not seen the bike and the description leaves much to be desired. Not knowing what level Campagnolo makes it a tough call. I admit to being a bit of a Campa snob. If it isn't top of the line such as Record, I am not interested.

All campy parts are either nuovo record or older he said.

I had Abit of a look around and it seems that a lot of these bikes came standard with a full nuovo set. If I do get the bike I plan on replacing everything that's not campy to campy so it's original.

in the place I lived in the 80s, it was normal to buy a frame and have it build up with the parts you wanted, standard builds where not popular.
