Gazelle Champion Mondial Stayer, full bike

Offering Gazelle Stayerbike

Designed for the purpose of generating speeds up to 100km/h behind a derny or motor pace bike on the track. Stayers are a very rare breed and this one is a very nice example.

Stayer competitions were extremely popular in the thirties and still are in parts of Europe. Stayerbicycles are designed and build according to very strict regulations. For example the distance from front axle to bottom bracket can be no less than 550mm. This is part of the reason why various generations look consistent in their appearance.

This Gazelle Champion Mondial 'stayer fiets' frame is build using full Reynolds 531c tubing, Campagnolo dropouts/track ends and ROTO Italy bottom bracket shell. Most components are from Campagnolo: Campagnolo Pista hub, Pista crankset and bottom bracket. Rear wheel is a Glass Fibre disc example. There is a great quality Hatta Swan headset fitted.

The cockpit and seat nose are reinforced with struts so the rider could position himself as close as possible to the derny.

Oooh....
Dibs those Gazelle bar end plugs if you split

Does it come complete with a motor bike..................................?

And a leather helmet.........................?

Lovely! If I was 40 years younger I'd have a go at that

would this be ridden behind a derny (a moped) or one of those big 2 litre motor pace bikes? Very different events if I recall.

Definitely behind the big bikes - very big!

56 ring ... ? That was one tooth smaller than standard RTTC 'Club 10' issue in my day.

I am sure it can be used behind both dernys and burly motorpace bikes ....and if a fixie rider gets his hands on one he will soon find out it will also work with taxicabs and lorrys

funny

IMMING bikes got an ecxactly the same bike, why is that? It's not fraud is it?

The Gazelle was once owned by Imming, but he simply never took the ad down. Imming a one man enterprice and he probably considered taking the ad down of a bike I assume nobody is asking for in his little shop not as an priority. I like Imming, I often go there. The shop is a specialist in individual specced performance aimed bikes for mainly road, a bit track, off road and among the later a lot beach. If you would call him tomorrow he would tell you he doesn't have the Gazelle.

I got hands on it while ago. I did an overhaul, waxed the coat, added correct tape, the Gazelle plugs and so on and now it is time to leave for the Gazelle again. It is Dutch, but not road, so it doesn't fit exactly within the scoop of my collection.

this is a beauty. Stille for sale?
