so, this auction:

http://ebay.com/<blah> ame=ADME:B:SS:US:1123

has me wondering if Gazelle and Batavus came out of the same shop. this Batavus looks identical to a Gazelle of the same period. Maybe something like the Swiss? Where Condor, Mondia, Allegro, Tigra and Cilo all appeared to be made by the same shop?
