arent the majority of dutch bikes hi-ten? plus, i'm pretty sure all those commuters in that hilly as hell city amsterdam really care about how heavy their bikes are. that's why all the bikes locked up there are carbon fiber rocking campy 11 right?

the republic dutch is overpriced still (and the fabric crankcase is fail), but you can't complain about a cruiser being made out of hi-ten. the sweet fixie they had was an abomination, but this dutch bike is a little more proper in execution.
