Batavus Professional SLX ensemble left: KNWU (Dutch national team) right: NOS frame More on both: https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/batavus-professional-slx.473318/

To me this looks like a 1993 Miyata Elevation 2,000. Alumium lugs, aluminium tubing in front triangle and steel tail. US model, very rare in NL. It is a bit heavier than a Elevation 10,000, it doesn't look much different and it is more sturdy. For someone nearby it could be a nice project and...

Bontrager Privateer, 1996?

Very nice. What you could try is first polish en wax the paint. Protect the exposed metal with a combination of Carpotech RX5 and clear enamel. If you do not like the result new paint is another option.

I have never shared the finished result. Here it is.

I have never seen amber coloured inner tubes before, but the Panasonic has them. '98' for 98 grams.

I have pictures of the team livery graphics. The original name of Mr. Matsushita's company was 'National'. For export reasons the name was changed to Panasonic. Apparently Panasonic felt the need to put even more emphasis on the international character of the company. Under the Panasonic...

I've heard of the brand, I do not know this model and I don't know whether it is any good, but what is obvious is they put some effort in it to make something special. With this routing it deserves gears imo.

This is my Panasonic in team livery. First a brief introduction. Panasonic bicycle Mr. Matsushita, founder of Panasonic, was a bike enthousiast. Panasonic made bicycles since the 50's. More on history in the Panasonic Bicyles Virtual Museum: https://www.panasonicbikemuseum.info/history/...

Yes, that is the review.

Size 42? Very nice bike, Jourian. There is a review on this bike in the Archive.

The '89 RidgeRunner - one of my favourite Koga Miyatas

2nd that. Good advice. With FullPros for example the cable doens not run through.
