lot of crappy "Dutch" bikes there :?
For real Dutch heritage look for old (really old <70´s) Simplex or Gazelle
I´ve been commuting for years on my 1937! Simplex, still runs way better than many modern China/Taiwan Junk IMHO

Some great bikes in those links.

I saw a really cheap second-hand Bakfiets in Amsterdam last week - A serious load-carrier, but probably not what the original poster is looking for.

And had a nice chat with this guy: http://www.hetnieuwewerck.nl/
The prices are a bit steep, but such cool bikes.

I've decided my black 29er singlespeed needs some cream coloured 700C Schwalbes for when I use it for commuting.

A sort of Omafiets "look", but 20kg lighter

Some great bikes there - but getting one delivered from NL would be expensive.

I just need a dirt cheap lugger to be honest.

Appreciate the links though - spme of those are cool.

Appreciate the input chaps. I'm anticipating that you won't really want to see pics...
