Not mine, but I enjoyed working on it. Girlfriend found this Batavus Comanche in her attic; it's supposedly her brother's who lived in the house before relocating abroad.
I gave it a good cleaning, pumped up the tires, flushed the shifters which had gunked up, adjusted the brakes, the headset, handlebar tilt and brake lever/shifter angle, and now it is ready to serve as a bike fod house guests should they need one. Turned out to be a nice bike, lugged Cro-Mo frame, full Shimano STX groupset in great condition, riveted Rigida rims etc. If the frame weren't too small for me, I'd want to take it out for a longer ride than a 5 km test ride, since it rides real nice.
