Clearing out as Im moving abroad, so the bikes have to be slimmed down!
The frame has been stripped and lacquered, some surface rust is visible on frame underneath lacquer (this was my aim when I stripped it) More than happy to provide as many close up photos as required.
I'm 5'10 with a 32" inseam, If youre an inch taller it might be ok, if you're a few inches shorter then it would be ok too.

I just did this exact route myself, then carried on up to Stockholm.
I got the ferry to Dunkirk as Alan mentioned, was a very easy ride through the town to the Belgian border. I used OSmand mainly for routing. It proved pretty faultless over the trip, only a couple of dodgy bits and dead ends.
I was advised to go inland as a lot is reclaimed land above Amsterdam, I visited a friend in Rotterdam then headed to Deventer (a beautiful small city with an old centre) The ride through the De Hoge Veluwe national park was very nice indeed.

No longer using this.
In used condition as its been on a few tours with me! a few marks on the Ti casing but its just polished up really, the USB ports have some surface rust but thats pretty normal for these and doesnt affect function.
When used with a pass-through battery pack its perfect for powering GPS or phones etc.

After about 8,000km the bearings on my SP disc hub have started cracking and creaking. No play yet and they managed 800km through Sweden with my fingers in my ears singing 'LalalalalaIcanthearyoulalalala'
As they are not user-serviceable the wheel would need to go back to Taiwan to be serviced, not ideal so I think Im going to bite the bullet and buy a wheel with a SON hub, should last the rest of my life going by reviews.

These are well used but could be useful for a beater.
The return spring on the right hand lever has broken and hangs down a bit behind the lever (isnt an issue if your cables are in good nick) and there is wear to the hoods.
