I got this Batavus from the first owner, he ordered it in 1994. He didn't liked the colors that Batavus had in that time, so the paint job was done on his request by Batavus. So you won't find another Batavus in this color scheme!
The Professional serie was the most high end serie from Batavus. It's full made out of Columbus SLX tubing, Cinelli Microfusion lugs and bracket, and with Campagnolo ends. The engraved rear stay and brake bridge make it even more lovely.
The frame is still in a very good condition. It has got some spots, but nothing serious. The worst spots are underneath the downtube, but that's not in a visible place. I've pictured the worst spots in the picture album. The chrome is also in an overall good condition. The front fork does show some pitting, it's hard to photograph. The chrome on the rear stays is in a very good condition. It has always been conserved in a clear coat. I took most of the clear coat of, because it did let loose. Now it looks very shiny. Note: the frame comes without Shimano 600 headset. The Shimano bottom bracket still runs smooth.
I would like SOLD! posted. Excluding paypal fee.
Dibs then PM.
