Hi,

I've been wondering if people in the US and Canada would like to buy Gazelle bikes. I'm thinking particularly about the Orange and Medeo lines, plus some in the "Favourites" such as folding bikes.

Here's the english 2008 catalog.

Prices in Euro here (sorry, dutch link but it's easy with names):

I'm starting to think about importing some. I know the prices will probably seem steep to most in North-America, but is 1500 really too much for say the Orange Excellent considering the bike comes equipped standard with:
- Full chaincase
- Suspension seatpost
- Aluminum frame
- Suspension fork
- Dynamo hub
- Adjustable stem
- Seat bag

Seems to me it's about the same price as a N-A bike with the same features.

Your opinions? Which model would you be interested in? What are your favourite features?
