B1 Weblite cross/MTB
New ride in the stable: (Batavus) B1 Weblite cross/MTB from around 2000. B1 was part of Dutch Batavus, as the more 'sporty' branch. I believe this bike to be a bit higher up in the hierarchy. I really like the ride, as the bike is quite light. The specs:
Frame: alu number 8461448
Group: Shimano Deore LX (M570) 3x9 speed
Crank/pedals: Shimano FC-MC19, 170 mm
Brakes: Magura HS33 hydraulic
Fork: Manitou Spyder R, TPC sport
Steering: Kalloy Uno, alu
Headset: Tioga Alchemy 25.4 mm alu
Hubs Deore, Pro M-50 explorer rims, Schwalbe Rocket Ron 26x2.10
Saddle: pen Kalloy 30.8 mm alu, Gippiemme B11 Xtreme

Interesting build specs for sure, and a very nice pearl orange finish.
Hopefully the suspension fork's "TPC" (twin piston chamber) damping is still in the game, would be great, and with such low usage, a possibility.
I've almost always appreciated the chainring protectors on the bikes that had them still in good condition.

So near pristine! I'd have a hard time getting that one muddy.
Those Magura hydraulic rim brakes were never very common in my part of the world. Did you see many in The Netherlands?
