Restoring a bike can be costly, depending on how accurate/period correct you want to be. However, you might be able to make it rideable for a relatively small investment. Any pics? And when you say your specs match...whose bike do they match? I'd be surprised if they match mine, as I don't believe the components shown were original. I've since passed the frameset on, as it was a bit small for me.

This is my first post and I would just like to inquire about the value of a Batavus Competition. I bought this bike about the time Batavus quit selling their bikes in the US. I believe around the early to mid 80s.

It is in excellent shape with original Campy components. Absolutly no rust or scratches. It still has the original seat. No part on this bike has been changed out except the tires and brake pads.

Thanks for your input.

I am not familiar with a Batavus Competition with Campy. Maybe exclsuively for US? What tubing is it made of?

I believe it was equipped with Triomphe. Mine came to me with mixed parts, and Campy 980 derailleurs, which I think may have been original, because I recently saw a Competition frame nearly identical to mine with 980. Maybe it's Claude's bike? I can't find the link. On mine, the main frame tubes were Reynolds 531.

It's been a long time since I pulled her down off her hook in the garage. I have those same pictures in a brochure that came with the bike(somewhere, still looking). I guess my memory is not as good as it used to be. Below is a better description.

and like I said she has been well cared for... no rust, pits or scratches. I will try to get some pictures on later.

...and here I thought mine was an 'updated' mixed build. Your build list sounds nearly identical to what I had.

I cannot remember how much I paid new, but I was curious what would she be valued at now. Any clue?
