I'm moving to accommodation without a garage and could ideally do with getting rid of one of my bikes. This is a 1980's Batavus Barcelona, the frame is reasonably smart but the mudguards and stays are covered in tiny rust spots. I've just treated them with rust killer and left them.
Everything on the bike works including the dynamo lights, but the wear-indicator layer on the tyres is just beginning to show.
Seat tube: 56 cm to the centre of the crank
Standover height: 80 cm (it's unsuitable for shorter people)
Weight: about 18kg
Wheel size: 700C
Gears: 3-speed Sachs (SRAM) hub
Brakes: Lever operated drum, front and rear
Saddle: the badge has worn smooth but it looks like a Lepper, there are a few cracks in the top
Frame-mounted pump
AXA frame lock with two keys
I'm looking for about £65 (these bikes retail for about £650 new). You can view it in Moseley (Birmingham) most evenings or in the city centre on a weekend afternoon.
