That's nice but looks like a big 52 !!

Still worth buying though

I know it looks big, but I was in contact with the seller previously and saw the photos, stamped 52 underneath but no obvious serial number. Maybe I should take contact again and ask him to measure.

PS. my HR....if you know of anyone looking for one. This one has an interesting family ownership before me , l bought it from Tom Dumoulin

SBDU frames have the frame size stamped on the Borrom bracket. I stand to be corrected but the measrement is C-T.

Perhaps it's the angle the photograph was taken from but that frame looks so much larger than 52 especially if that is a c-t measure. Is it worth me contacting Cyril to check and maybe get one or two more photos ? The real problem would be going to see it , l am just over an hour away down the A20 but if l got stopped by the gendarmes l would have a hard time justifying my journey...the bike could end up rather expensive

Looking at the size of the headtube, I would say it's more like a 54/55, I may be wrong of course.

I read somewhere that SBDU frames with Cinelli bottom brackets have the frame size on them !

I love Gazelle Champion Mondials: this one is 531C with Campagnolo.

Yes, non- cinelli ones have it as well. I have asked the seller to measure and will let you in fact everyone know. . Having mentioned SBDU i do not think it is one, The chainstay bridge in particular looks wrong. I wil post for others to see. It may be one of those French built Raleigh’s or mat be something else entirely and respirated and badged.

@midlife may have an idea, if not he knows a man who will..

Still looks bigger than a 52 , if measured from top face of bottom bracket shell upwards then it could well be .

I only know that as a couple of Italian built bikes I have purchased in the past were measured that way .
