yes, i think they also build a retro-looking sporty bike, called van stael. it is much lighter than traditional models and has all standard features (derailers, brakes..)

yes, they are around 22kgs, 28" with 700x37, i also think that the hub gear is less efficient than the traditional derailer during acelerations, not to mention the front dynamo hub when present.
i wonder how it feels to ride newer electric models with front suspensions
here a pics of the gazelle classic and the van stael
