For Sale: Batavus Professional Shimano 600

I bought this on the forum in February and have had a brilliant few months riding it. However, I have now graduated to carbon with a view to getting into racing, and 3 bikes won't fit in the flat. I am selling my -

Batavus Professional team bike from 1991
Made from Reynolds 531 Professional tubing
Front mech, rear mech, front hub, headset, seatpost, STIs and brakes are all Shimano 600.
Chainset is by Gipiemme
Bar and stem are 3TTT
Mavic MA40 rims, tyres have done about 150 miles.

Height 55 cm c-t / Top tube 56 cm c-c

Some bad points about the bike -
It could do with new bearings in the headset, it's just a job I don't have the time or spanners to do.
I bought the bike advertised as an 8 speed, bit the wheels will only fit 7. The STIs are 8 speed, so the shifting isn't super slick. If you know how to get an 8 speed cassette on there then I will include one in the sale if I still have it.

£200 plus postage. Collection not an option unfortunately as I'm outside London.

Here is a link to the advert where I bought it -

This is my first advert, so if i have left anything out or if anyone needs more info, let me know.

Cheers

Hi,

Are there other scratches than the one visible on the photos?
Is the frame undamaged (straight)?
What does shipping to Denmark cost?
Regards,

That is a very good price. Bat Pro frames are superb easily on par with the best of Gazelle's. I really should buy this tidy it up and sell it for twice the price next summer...

Tel, if I knew how then I would. Unfortunately I am incredibly cack handed and I would probably do more harm than good. Shipping to Denmark is around the £30-35 mark I think.
