You're right! Looks like we have a winner here.

It does beg the question what a color-matched Snel fork is doing on this Batavus but perhaps that's something that Snel Fietsen can answer for me.
I do like the more functional dropouts with extra eyelets but the canti studs are still fairly narrow.

[MENTION=173992]non-fixie[/MENTION] looks like you have a Snel! as well!

EDIT: I just realized why this frame might have needed a new fork and a quick feel confirmed it. It has been in a front-end collision.
You can barely see it but I can feel it by hand. There is a small dimple near the lug.
