I think the Gazelle Basic or any other Dutch-style bike is a great concept, but Simplex, Fongers ...or Gazelle do not built them like 50yrs ago. Nearly nothing is made in house and there are more non metals used.

Atm I am using a 50s light weight for commuting, but I have a Dutch bike too. A decades old Union. Gents edition however. Nice comfy all purpose bike, but not as fast the sporty light weight of course.
