Not my style, but if you want a traditional Dutch bike for practical city transport, I doubt if you'll find anything better for the money. As others have pointed out, lightweight is not an apt description; but if a bike like this is to your taste, my guess is you aren't planning on racing it.
This doesn't negate the fact that hi tensile steel is the weakest and cheapest steel available for the manufacturing of bicycles.
Ah...No thank you! I think it's best that we just move on....
