Nice bike Jan. Spent a few years working in Den Helder for my sins. Do you watch the "Back To Classics" Youtube channel. They are based in Bergambacht. I believe they are having a grand opening of their newly refurbished store. More detials here: https://www.ducaticlassics.com/ Some great restorations on there and they are always true to the original spec or as close to it as they can get. Makes me smile when he always signs off his videos with "Toedeledoki". Was one of the few words I remembered from my very limited vocabulary in Dutch.
