Thanks in advance

Here ya go.... Answers to all (or most) of your questions:

https://www.gazellechampionmondial.nl/index.html

velobase.com - GREAT WEBSITE but one caveat, most entries are anecdotal so there can be differences of opinions on technical details.

NOTE: Because of a trade mark or copyright issue Gazelle Champion Mondial bikes sold in Germany were labeled as Gazelle Champion only.

I have 2 NOS Gazelle frames that have been sitting in my stash for over 10 years:

A 1973 Champion Mondial "A-Frame"

My 1994 Champion Mondial "AB-Frame" made of Reynolds 531C "Competition" tubing. It has a racing team number tab with a wingnut under the top tube.
