Bikes: A few bikes

Starting with my roots.... My last name is van Ingen, which my grandfather told me mannnyyy years ago translates to from Ingen. My family came over in the mid to late 1600's (so I've been told). After my granfather passed away, I was going through his office and found scrolls that date back to early 1900's that show our family tree back to the 1300's. I've been trying to get my hands back on them since my uncles found out about them BUT they're being extremely possessive of them. I'm currently trying to get them copied by a document firm who understands how to handle antique documents.

My budget, cheap as possible (my other grandfather was German so that is where the frugalness comes in) but if something came along that was really cool I could probably go around $400 or so. I don't need a complete bike unless it's a great deal, I enjoy gathering parts to make something complete so, a nice frameset would fit the bill nicely.

Size, a 58cm square is best although not always easy to find.

I really don't know much about Dutch bikes (I've been trolling the Dutch bike thread) and have no idea how they stack up pricewise vs other European marques.

That's pretty much it I guess. Thanks for the help and let me know what you guys dig up!
