Gazelle racing brochures 1980's

[Elev12k]

Again really great additions

In the 1993 catalogue I spot a carbonfibre Champion Mondial. I had never heard of such :shock: The frame has multiple gussets and the catalogue mentions 'FIC' as the builder. Does anybody know more about FIC or this particular frame? I remember seeing similar contructions (the gussets) with for example Lemonds.

Thanks to Erik Boelen I was able to add a very early (1971) Gazelle Locomotief brochure as well as the 1985 and 1992 pricing and options leaflets. Erik is organiser of het Stalen Ros, an annual classic racing bicycle show and jumble held in Neerkant, the Netherlands. Gazelle bikes are this year's theme.

Monique at the Gazelle factory has been so kind to compile a list with the (first) framenumber per year, starting from 1974.

That makes it official. My Gazelle is from 1987.

Thank you.
