Classy looking Batavus Pro with a full Shimano 600 Ultegra groupset.
The Batavus Pro was the Gazelle Champion Mondial's main competitor and is easily on par with those. I think this is built with Columbus SL tubing, the sticker pre dates when Columbus put what actual tubing it is, so I'm quite sure that makes it SL. Unfortunately I forgot to finger it when I had the bottom bracket out to see if it had SLX spirals.
Has the stunning Batavus Pro fork profile which is very difficult to picture but one of my favourite features of the frame.
Paint is in great condition with just a few minor scratches here and there. The chrome has the slightest speckles on it which is probably more visible in the pictures than in reality. You will have to look closely in real life to see that the chrome is not perfect.
Groupset is Shimano 600 Ultegra 14 speed. All in great condition and working perfectly. Wolber TX rims are hardly showing any wear at all.
Saddle is a little tatty but it's crying out for a brown Brooks Colt....
New tyres, rim tape, chain and tape have got it all ship shape.
I'd like £300 + £15 postage.
