Gazelle Champion Mondial AB authentication help

[henristig]

Hi,

I've been shopping for my first road bike for a long time now and I've finally managed to lock my eyes on a late 90's (maybe '97?) Gazelle Champion Mondial AB but I'd like the input from you guys before I acquire it. I've tried to do some research on these Gazelles but since the subject is so huge and I'm still a newb to all of this I think in the end I'd rather ask the Gazelle experts out there. Do you see anything off with this bike, or is it legit? Does the groupset seem befitting? Any further knowledge on the age of the bike? And lastly, do you think 400€ is a fair price for it?

Here's the spec as advertised:

Frame is made of Reynolds 531 Competition butted tubes
-Wheels: 28'', hubs: Shimano 600 HB-6400 / FH-6402, rims: Rigida DP 18, made of aluminum, high profile

-Saddle: San Marco Rolls
-Seat post: made of aluminum, Shimano 600
-Derailleurs: rear - Shmano 600 RD-6401 8 Speed, front - Shimano 600 FD-6401 double

Re:

Hi there,

Yes, I think its worth 400 euros, nice Shimano 600 groupset (second only to Dura Ace), itm stem and 531c frame, looks like it is in good condition too.
