Good luck with it!
Thanks! A lot of the ones I've seen or bought seem to be sold by the original owners.
So they tend to either take good care of their bikes and bring it in for maintenance or they have low miles on them.

They do tend to use quality parts and have a tendency to slightly overbuild things but that's a good thing IMHO.
Not like some other Dutch manufacturers who tend to innovate, just to be different and just become expensive to maintain in the process.
