Batavus Professional. Garbage found, abandonet. Did a complete overhaul. Changed wheels, hubs and rims (originally she had DuraAce 5 speed pignon and tubeless rims) Changed handlebar, stem and brakelevers as well (original DuraAce -far too long for me- and SR Custom handlebars)
A great bike not only for the flat Netherlands but downgeared with a compac crankset very usefull in the Alps as well :)
The DuraAce brakes are the reason I still am alive!
