Well, when I bid 50 on a bike I like and need the somponents of, and the reply comes within 10 minutes: yes, that's OK, when you come to pick it up? What can I do? I'm helpless in these cases.

Anyway I needed the C-Record components and got this whole bike (not my size, obviously). Jan van Zuylen is on the tubes, but it's a Batavus, the name is on the seatstay cap, but in a script form I didn't see before. SLX tubing probably, nice chrome fork with the 'pinched' backside, just like Gios used in the late 80s. This bike is from 1990 I think. Everything C-Record, except the wheels (Ultegra 7 speed), the headset and the 105 Look style pedals.
The bike has been neglected, so I'm dreading the moment I really have to get those pedals off the cranks. I tried in a normal fashion, but wow, are they stuck!
Pedals, frame, wheels, will be flipped, so to speak. Parted out?
