For Sale: No Gazelle or Batavus but a very nice dutch classic bike. a Jan Janssen!

For sale a very nice little Jan Janssen bike from the 70ties. Size 53cm. Looking at condition of the parts it has a very low mileage. Found it 2 weeks ago and spend some time polishing and replacing some items. It now has new tubes, rim tape, handlebar tape and new tires. I replaced the sadle wit a used but rather nice white Rolls saddle. I know I still have to mount the inner cables (the outer have been replaced with very nice old school cables. The chain was not mounted when taking the pictures but it will be before shipping.

I'm looking to get around a 150,- euro ONO for it excluding shipping. The bike is in the Netherlands now. and shipping is around a 30,- euro.

New info: It seems that this is a bike of the first 2 years of the brand Jan Janssen so between 1972 and 1974 when Jan Janssen used frames built by the famous Belgian brand Flandria. The worked together for about 2 years and then Jan moved production to Taiwan. So this a true piece of history.

from wiki
Calling "[I]dibs" is an informal convention where one declares a first claim to something to which no one else has a clearly recognized right[/I]

any idea what tubing?

Thanks of the info about the dibs.
Really no clue about the tubing. It is hard to find info about this bike. most parts are Weinman including the rims.
