A late model Champion Mondial from the famous Dutch brand Gazelle, dating from the 2nd half of the 1990's. Built with an Ultegra 6700 10-speed group, Rotor 3D chainset, a set of China carbon hoops, a San Marco Zoncolan and Cinelli Groove stem that I wish was just 1cm shorter to allow for a flatter bar/hoods transition area. The dream is to find a Ritchey wet red seatpost and maybe stem, but they're like hen's teeth so probably not gonna happen. For now though, for my ageing (increasingly disinterested in all the new shit) and poverty stricken (appalled by just how expensive all the new shit is) ass, this is pretty close to the 'dream bike' I've always envisioned 😎

    I love this Gazelle frameset. I would spec some different components, but it’s not my bike, lol.

    Nice looking ride!
