I've never had one, although I looked longingly at some examples on eBay. My impression is that they were made in Europe, in one of the Low Countries. I want to say Holland, but I can't swear to it. I suspect that they specialized in racing machines as I've seen several with number tabs. Does anyone know if Gazelle sponsored any prominent teams or riders? Baron has had some of these frames for sale before. Any info out there?

I have just purchased a frame that is marked Gazelle Champion Mondiale. I have never heard of this brand. It is lug constructed and made out of Reynolds 531 tubing. I would appreciate any information concerning this brand and model.

Thanks,
