I'd love to see the bike and learn about it. Have you posted it?

mcours2006, there are lots of posts about the typical Dutch bike. Look up opafiets and omafiets. Those words mean Grampa bike and Gramma bike. I think it weighs over 40 lbs. I don't know what kinds of brakes are typical. I think they are drum brakes. It has rack, fenders, chaincase, and dynamo lights. I think the dynamo is usually the bottle type. The riding position is either a completely vertical back or very close to that.
I googled opafiets and got this image. Even though this is a male version, it has skirt guards. I wonder why.
Here is an informative page where the image comes from.
