I have a Van Herwerden frame I shipped home a year ago; still in the box with a couple other odd frames. Different style than the JDM frame and no model designation. I need to pull it out and see what parts I need.
The JDM has been verified to have an English threaded BB shell/68mm so I assume it is not Italian made aside from being a 531c frame. No responses from a couple messages sent to Netherlands regarding the frame. Frame and fork weigh about 5.7 pounds.
