One of my local bike shops keeps my phone number handy and occasionally calls me when something "vintage" comes into their shop. Tonight they called to ask if I had any interest in a Batavus 10 speed. I'll stop by and see it on Tuesday or Wednesday evening. What I know for now is that it is made from Reynolds 531C tubing, mostly Campagnolo Gran Sport (late generation) components except brakes which are Weinmann and Mavic Mod. E 700c rims. Not much to go on but from this bit of info can anyone comment on what model this may be, the quality (or lack of) Batavus bicycles, etc. Any collectability value?

Thanks in advance,
