• SOLD

    I'm selling this lovely Batavus professional .
    Size, seat tube: 63 c-t, top tube: 59 c-c.
    Rear spacing: 126 mm.

    You can find al pictures here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/79082624@N08/sets/72157641708002004/
    Including a picture of the bike build up!

    The professional serie was the most high end bike from Batavus. The bike has the early Batavus team colours, and the great old school lines around the lugs. It's made from reynolds 531 professional tubing. It comes with a Shimano 600EX headset and bottom bracket.

    The bike is in a nice condition, as you can see in the pictures. The paint has some spots. The most are on the seat stay, including a bigger spot, which will require a touch up. The spots on the top tube will be coverd by a braking cable. I've pictured all the worst spots.
    The chrome is in a very good condition for a bike from 1984! It's still bright and shiny.

    The headset and bottom bracket aren't running smooth. I think it's the grease that is turn into chewing gum. I assume this, because the pedals had the same issue (I took them apart). And the BB and headset don't show any play. The parts that came of the bike were also still in a very good shape.

    I would like pounds posted. Excl. paypal fee. Sold
    Dibs then PM.

    If you have a question, feel free to ask me!

    Hi There,

    Thanks, I totally agree with you.
    The frame size, is 63 c-t for the seat tube and 59 c-c for the top tube. Just like I wrote in the first post.

    In which picture does it look like a 53 cm?

  • Lovely frame, very tempted.

    Way too big at 531cm tho .(;

    Thanks!

  • For this beautiful Batavus.
    It looks even better when it's build up:

  • The 'red-lettered' seat-tube transfer is for 531 Professional (pka Special Lightweight, or 531SL) tubing. About 200g lighter than 531, but about 200g heavier than 753. Personally, I love the springiness of 531SL. Nice looking frame.

  • I love the decals.chrome forks are just elegant
