Stem now sorted, I think, so just on the look out for the brakes/levers. Thanks!

Final call for offers of brakes/levers before I dump a load of cash on Hilary Stone??

Appreciate you're after aero levers mind. -

I am, but they are very pretty... Any idea where they sit in the hierarchy? Will have a think.

Absolutely no idea but from that era I'd say they (the calipers at least) were probably at the top or 2nd tier given they 'team' branding and overall quality
Hi all
Trying to finish off an early 90s Batavus Professional and can't quite seem to pull together these last few parts. Looking for a few things:
1) 26.4mm clamp stem - an XA would be nice, but if you have any others going cheaper then happy to consider - (condition: not too battered, but doesn't need to be NOS) - longer is better than shorter.2) Brakes - Not too fussy about the calipers, as this one is going to be more for pleasure than heavy weather commuting/braking, but something vaguely period and preferably European to match. Again, not too battered if possible.
3) Brake levers - the ideal here would be brown/tan/gum hooded Aero levers to match with the remaining Italian components... But there don't seem to be very many in existence!! Open to offers really. If they're cheap, I suppose it doesn't matter whether they have brown/gum as I can get after market ones to fit (maybe). If there's nothing going, then I'll be reverting to non-Aero or, more likely, just grabbing some Tektro RL340s/or Dia Compes new... Would be a shame though.
Thanks all.
