Want info about Batavus 'Winner' bicycle

[tinyhouse]

Hi -

I just bought a Batavus 'Winner' bicycle. It's a Dutch bike - probably 1980's maybe late 1970's - although this is just a guess. I can't find much on the internet about Batavus that is not in Dutch and unfortunately I don't know the language. Does anyone know anything about this bike or about how I might learn the date of the bike?

Thanks.

Jolly hockey sticks!
Classic, especially the dynamo light!
And that chainguard; if I was a nun it would keep my habit clear!
The sea-gull bar shape!
Anyone for a picnic?

Isn't somebody on here dutch?

Yeah a picnic sounds great!

By the way - I also posted a "dutch bike" thread under the open cycling discussion - thought there might be some interest on the topic...
