Are these actual Dutch bikes, or just city bikes? A real Dutch bike comes with it's own ignition-style lock (i.e. no key, no rolling), a generator for the lightS that doesn't make it feel like you're pedaling up a 12% grade, DRUM brakes, and Scotchbrite whitewalls that reflect brilliantly. I'm assuming all these choices at least have an enclosed chain and kick-@$$ fenders?
I still ride my Locomotief Populaire and I'm going back to Holland in April/May to get tires, tubes, jerseys and bier.
