Smart move to bail on the "mechanics" SUV-forum, a little too much unwarranted negativity. The bike does look MUCH better with with all of those "accessories" removed! My knowledge of Dutch culture is somewhat limited (I visited frequently in the mid to late 80s while with the US Army in Germany), but I might agree that the bike was indeed ridden most often by a tall Dutch gal going to the market or dropping her child off at school!
I would still try to remedy the deformed top tube with the blocks and I believe that a general "fluff & buff" is clearly in order. A 66cm frame (that's nearly 26" for the non-metric folks
. Is a pretty tall frame to be sure! I'll still be interested to see the finished product. For 30 Euros, it was a no-brainer
