Jan de Reus vintage

Retro Newbie
Hi everyone,
I was wondering if anyone knows something about Jan de Reus bikes. I got one of those for my gf 2 years ago in the Netherlands and since she got her new roadbike she hasn't been using it at all :( .
Since I have a few bikes myself, I was seriously thinking of selling it. The only thing I have changed on the bike, are the tires. Does it worth to keep and rebuilt as a vintage? Could somebody make a rough estimation of the price? (since not that many de Reus are out there) Thanks in advance!

Welcome.
Is that lugless? I'd say it's definitely worth keeping. In fact, my advice: Get rid of the gf and give the bike to the next one, who hopefully appreciates such stuff! :)
 
Haha, apparently I am planning to keep both or maybe sell it for the right price (the bike :) )
Yes it is lugless with no prominent welding signs. Do you have any idea of how rare these are? I bought it from a 60 yrs old lady in Amsterdam and she was the second owner. I am not sure which components have been changed apart from the brake levers that she changed into dual pull for convenience.
