Batavus - Tour Del Europe - 59cm
I couldn't really find any info on this type of bike and thought I share it.
Sucks it is not in my size (5'10 30.5 seam = 54cm ideal)
https://houston.craigslist.org/bik/3411310073.html
Lastly, is that a down shifter?
curious is that a good price though
enjoy and hope someone from here buys it.

Interesting bike not many of these sold in the US. These where pretty basic boom era steel bikes made mostly for the European market. Nothing real special but it is interesting to so one that is basicaly orignal and complete in the US. I like the color and size I would consider it if it was local for me.

Yes those are downtube shifters. If that was ready to ride away and trouble free for the season $150 might be an ok price, but I suspect that bike needs a bit of work.
