Late-'80s to early-'90s is my era of preference due to their offerings being all well equipped (nice tubesets for frames) but most importantly, for those freaking sweet graphics. Someday a 63cm example will be mine. Race or touring.
Glad you enjoyed it. Some day I will translate the interview with Andries Gaastra as it contains a lot of fun background information about the brand and where some of the colour choices came from.

As for 63cm race or touring frames... I've sent a whole bike to the US once before, a frame is probably easier and cheaper but I might be tempted to ride around on it myself for a bit.
