I should add that the listing says the Flandria is "approximately a 1970 model", but the discussion on the list when I bought the previous one was that the original Dura-Ace gruppo didn't come out until about 1974. This bike may also have been sold as a replica of the Dura-Ace equipped team bikes used by the Flandria teams featuring Freddy Maerteens and Michel Pollentier. I haven't nailed down an exact date, but I think that team used DA components for a couple of years around 1975 and 1976, so that would be my best guess of the age of the eBay bike.

This one does have the advantage of apparently having the original DA wheels, wheras mine had had the original wheels robbed by a dealer at some point and replaced with cheaper 27" clinchers. Mine has no tubing sticker, but seems to be a top quality frame, though the finish work is more like a top French bike or top Raleigh than a custom frame like Sachs or Baylis. I think the seller may have reused some of the same photos from the one I bought, so anyone bidding should ask what size the frame is - don't try to judge it from the photos. The seller delivered my promptly and in good condition, and was generally good to deal with.
