The crown top shows two cyclists cycling; the Batavus logo back in the day. The cyclists sit remarkably upright, almost as like on a Dutchbike and give a bit the impression cycling against wind. Dutch bikes were and still are Batavus' core business of course.
The fork chroming and headtube in contrast colour were optional.
