I'll try to get some photos this weekend. As for dating the bike, does your Batavus bikes have any marking on the back side of the head tube. At this point in time I'm not convinced that the "78" on mine is the year of manufacture, because, I read on this forum that the winged axle nuts "went away" in the early 70's! Additionally, I was hoping someone would offer up some "dating" info regarding the components on this bike!! I'm still hanging in there!!!

Well, we Batavus owners will have to stick together and share what info that does come our way! Oh well, I've had worse luck trying to find info on the Sterling Mixte (1980 something) that I have! Absolutely zero info so far!!! It was also in excellent condition!
