Okay so I bought this frame a few years ago.
it's a 1976 Gazelle Chamion Mondial AA frame. Very straight with just a few decals suffering the effects of the years. I want to make up a 10 speed bike. at present it has a hotch potch of parts mostly cheap Suntour but the wheels are tubular Mavic rims laced to very smooth Dura Ace 5 speed hubs with Campy downtube shifters. What I want are your ideas on whether to go with vintage Japanese or try and source something else. I am not trying for a full restoration but rather something that looks about right. Any ideas. Tim you don't happen to have a period drivetrain lying around do you?
