Today's purchase,
Yet another Champion Mondial, this time a AA-special frame of 1984

Exact the same as this frame,
but it's to dark to take a picture now (will post one tomorrow)

Did you get a frame plus fork? What size?

I got a whole bike (for a very nice price) :cool: , size 54 seattube (c-t).
Picture wil be for tomorrow, because Im really busy today

Its not a chromed fork
Parts are shimano 600 and dura ace front mech and brake levers
 
This is how the complete bike looked when I bought it, got a lot of restoring/cleaning and replacing to do ;) Will probably sell it because it's to small for me

the price for the frame and forks alone was 1165 Dutch guilder back in 1984,(http://jvs.webklik.nl/page/gazelle)

which is about £450 right now, add inflation to that amount, and this wasnt even the top of the line.. AA-super and 753 were even more pricey
 
Hey! That's my size. If it had a chromed fork I'd be very tempted. Ufff! ;)

I have one in blue too from 1981. Here "she" is.

It seems a darker blue? You have brussels blue, gazelle blue and saphire blue?

Im going for a blue and (light) grey look for this restoration..
 
Lovely Gazelles, I thought the seat tube panel was a light metallic blue from the first pictures, but this silver is very nice too.

My 1981 AA is pretty much as I want it, apart from the handlebars and brake levers, which I want to switch for an SR Road Champion and first gen Dura Ace non aero levers soon, to get them in line with the rest of the parts.

It's yet another early Gazelle Blue, I think it's Baikal Blue but it might be Amoer blue too, can't tell them apart from pictures.
