There are some awfully nice Dutch sport touring bikes that
sell for next to nothing. Batavus, Gazelle, Magneet
and RIH to name a few.

Can't wait to see the progress on this one.
Where in germany?
I spent some time in Frankfurt but saw
little else of the country.

Let me add my support on this. You can see my Gazelle Trim Trophy here

I paid about 50 Euro for it, and all it needed to get back on the road was a tube. Shimano 600 at the back, Exage at the front, 531 frame, it's really nice. I think it's late 70's. Any care to comment?
