Did you get it?

Yup, it's just too good to pass, a perfect swap from my early 90's Italian frame with budget tubing.

Swap from this, a great but very basic italian frame with exact same measurement;

i have a Professional but with 531 Pro tubing, it's a great ride. Annoying the freewheel went on it so I bodged a fixed conversion on it I didn't actually want. Really should re-gear it. Will be interested to see this one built up for inspiration.

Enough Batavus Professionals on this forum, time to make a Batavus Professional thread, haha. What year is yours from? If it's older, a Shimano 600 EX would fit nicely on it. Sold a few other Batavus Professionals with 531 Pro with Shimano 600 Ex groupsets.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
