The frame in your picture seems to be one of these:
Alternatively, I found these by searching variations of the following in the 'bay (can't vouch for weight though...)
ladies bike vintage old curved reynolds
Hope this helps!
you have reminded me to get my finger out of my arse and ge along to a SH meet... I registered on the forum a while back but haven't found the time to geet involved yet...

they don't exist! Anything designed like a dutch bike is going to be, well, as heavy as a dutch bike.
Gap in the bloody market I tell thee!
Oh well, I guess it's back to the drawing board
Perhaps some of the older 3 speeds won't be too bad with the gears ripped out, and panniers etc all taken off? Jesus even I get tired lugging my bikes up those stairs every day.

Pretty ladies bike build ideas?
Posted by
@bristlypioneer
Hello,
So Miss Pioneer and I are trying to build up a new bike for her.
Ideally we're aiming for something lightweight and pretty, I live up 4 flights of stairs.
a bit like this
however all the ladies bikes I find on ebay seem to either have straight top tubes, and look butt ugly, or be very pretty but weigh 10 tonnes.
Can anyone point us in the direction of a ladies frame/bike, (curved top tube) which would be made of non-plumbers tubing? I guess we're aiming for something with the styling of a dutch bike but with the weight and ease of a fixed/single speed
like this I guess but something we can build up ourselves?
any ideas?
what searches should I be putting in ebay? anyone have something for sale?
