For Sale: Batavus Professional frameset 56cm Columbus SLX

For sale is a ca. 1990 Batavus Professional built on Columbus SLX "superbutted" tubing.
The fork has flattened profile.

top tube-seat tube size: 56-56 cm (center-center), or 58 cm according to what is stamped on the bottom bracket

The paint is chipped or scratched here and there (everything shown in the photos), chrome may need polishing, but nothing too serious; I rode the frame for a few thousand km, raced it in the mountains, but it's never seen winter or mud. It was a fixed for a few months, then - much more appropriately - a road monster with Dura Ace and 600 Ultegra.

Included at no additional cost:

• Shimano traditional bottom bracket (BSA)
  
• Shimano headset
  
• accent 27.2 mm seat post
  all in perfect working condition.
  
  

I'm looking for [EDIT:] 190 quid posted. It's located outside the UK, so I'll do my absolute best to protect the frame for shipment.

beaut!

what was the stem lenght of your build? and the handlebars? are those ritchey wcs type? : ) looks nice.

glws. (my size exactly.. but unfortunately I have other plans now..)

I've tried a million different stem lengths, the 3T Status in the picture was a 105 mm, and the bars Ritchey BioMax - highly recommended, another one of these is on my other road bike and I love it!

I love this frame, we have a history together. But, after countless attempts to adjust seat angle, position, stem length, height and type, I've finally come to terms with the fact that it's just too small for me. Bummer. My current racer has a 60 cm seat tube and it fits perfectly, so there you go...

Anyway, don't mind the setup in the pic too much - I kind of just slapped it all together for a nicer picture, hence horrible handlebar/seat position and no bolt in the cranks :)

The wheelset is also for sale (Dura Ace 7700 hubs, Mavic CXP30 rims, 28 flat spokes each, quite a bit of wear on the rims from braking, otherwise just fine, I rode them - and fast! - without any problems). Pics of the wheels:

This is a great foundation for a period-correct vintage high-end road bike with brifters - at least that would definitely be incentive for me :)
