Gazelle Champion AA 653 Steel Road Bike 1992

The Dutch Gazelle was for many years one of the largest bicycle companies in the world. They had a professional road bike range and one of their professional frame models was our legendary

Gazelle Champion AA 653 road bike frame.

The Champion Mondial line was designed for professional racing and you can see that every detail about the frame is well thought-out.

This hand built frame is particularly special, since it is the AA 653 Frame model, made of the eponymous very rare steel tube from Reynolds. The name Reynolds 653 actually refers to a bundle of mix-matched tubings which have been bundled to create a perfect riding experience. This means that the rear stays are made of stiff and light Reynolds 753 whereas the main triangle consists of professional grade Reynolds 531SL tubes and the fork of the better dampening 'normal' Reynolds 531.

Such a frame offers a good power transmission while still being lightweight and easy to handle.
The 'AA' signature means, that the frame has a little bit shorter wheelbase than standard models, hence enhanced maneuverability and a nimble feeling to it.
Our frame has been painted in a vivid combination of 'race red' and 'galaxy blue' - a true beauty.

A fitting groupset for our gorgeous Gazelle is the Shimano Dura Ace. Its clean lines and and plain remote design are a great counterpart for the flamboyant colours of the frameset.
With its STI shifting brake levers and legendary reliability, comfort and performance go hand in hand when the 740X series is in place.
A bike like this is perfectly fit to tackle any task all this while looking terribly good.
