Description
The Champion Mondial was a super successful design with which the Dutch company helped an uncountable number of racers to victories over the span of two decades. The base of these frames had always been Reynolds tubes and Bocama lugs
This Gazelle here is more special in the way that its main frame was built using Reynolds 753 tubing. This legendary heat-treated tubeset offered a tensile strength which had been unheard of before. It was possible to draw the tubes to a wall thickness of only 3mm in the thinnest section. This resulted in lightweight, yet strong frames.
Unfortunately, processing these tubes was notoriously difficult, since they could only be soldered at a narrow range of temperature and needed to be handled with close tolerances in general. Cold-setting a frame was practically impossible and only few frame builders were allowed to utilize Reynolds 753.
Their lack of availability and the cost of making a frame from them combined with the fact that some of the best riders of their time were provided with such frames, established the tubeset a reputation as being the absolute cutting edge stuff for professional cyclists.
Reynolds 753 gained an almost transcendental status.
Our frameset has been coupled with a Campagnolo Super Record groupset. The bicycle has been fully checked by our expect mechanics, this Dutch bike is ready to fly.
