Thank you for the info.

Price adjusted before it goes on a certain auction site

I would have this (for sure at that price) if I wasn't spending money left, right and centre at the moment....

When do you intend to put it on the Bay and will you post?

JD, can the decals be removed or are they under the lacquer?

Hello, Checked and they are under the lacquer! Cheers

will you post?

Yep. Its not a problem for me. Or i might be able to deliver near you very soon.

Ridiculous this nice frame is still available at only onehundredfivepounds! It is apparently very cold or recession struck very hard in UK.

maybe a bit of both!

Hi JD,

If it were my frame I would raise the price. The frame is too nice to be sold as just a cheap frame. I wouldn't risk that. It would be nice if someone buys for it being a Batavus Professional and a very fine frame in the 1st place. In the end all will come fine with weather and economy.

I absolutely do not understand. The Champion Mondial is highly regarded on lfgss (not without reason), but its natural competitor the Bat Prof seems kinda underrated to me.

Maybe try on Retrobike?

Thanks for the heads up. Maybe I will try
Stalen Ros!

I really like this, can I come and look at it?
