Dutch citybike? Batavus?
My wife is interested in finding a Dutch-style bike here in the US. She
mentioned a Batavus. They have a web site where bikes are in the 400 Euro range. Is there a US distributor of this style of bike? Any other brands we should look for? Thanks in advance, James |

The Milano? Not even close.
Batavus or Gazelle are the ones you're looking for... but getting them here for 400 Euro will be tough. "Qui si parla Campagnolo-www.vecchios.com" wrote in message oups.com...

Finding either brand mentioned is diffucult and then getting them for $600-$700 is hard also. For a fendered, commuter, the Milano, altho not the Euro Uber commuter of the others, does it's job of gettin' there pretty well.

Breezers come pretty close for ~700 USD http://www.breezerbikes.com/bike_det...ike=villag er |

Just saw a womans Batavus "The Eagle" in a Cincinnati thrift shop .
Frame okay; components work; needs all new rubber (tires are 37X540); needs chain; dynamo works; frame lock works & still has it's original leather fob. Definitely needs some TLC: oil the oily things, grease the greasy things & shine the shiny things. ....it is/was at "The Valley Thrift Shop" this past Thursday 8/28, if you're interested... They are/were only asking 15 bucks for it. (*knew* I shoulda' bought it... but my bed is the only place left to put it!) ;-) Rgds...pay |
