G'day folks,
I'm heading out to view a so claimed 1970s Gazelle Champion Mondial tomorrow. Now I'm new to the world of vintage road bikes, but have always had an appreciation for their design (just nuts about lugs!) Anyway the images in the ad show the seat stays meeting the seat post lug but not actually wrapping around it. I'd even say the chamfer is not as crispy looking as I've seen on other Mondial's of that era that don't wrap around the lug . So before I put my hand in my back pocket I wonder if anyone knows whether there'd be a model of this frame type fitting this description? Any and all help is very welcome and appreciated! Champ or Chump????
