This site aims to provide information about vintage steel Gazelle racing bicycles, particularly the Champion Mondial models from the 1970's and 1980's. Thanks to the many enthusiasts who have made catalog scans and other material available and the Gazelle factory administration who were so kind to provide the overview of frame numbers per calendar year.

NEW November 2025: thanks to Bas Bemelmans of Nationaal fietsmuseum Velorama Nijmegen much material contributed by Koninklijke Gazelle has been added, including a letter of congratulations from Gazelle director Wim Breukink to the newly crowned world champion Harm Ottenbros. The Champion Mondial model is announced in the letter.

I hope you find these pages helpful in identifying your Gazelle Champion Mondial. For any further questions or additional information that you would like to share, please drop me a line at OriginalGazelleChampionMondial@gmail.com
