I brought one of these Dutch bikes from Holland over 15 years ago. I was riding it for a while. My mum's been riding it for over ten years once a week without a single puncture nor serious maintenance. At some point we changed the rims for a lighter alternative (pity about the nice old once, but heavy as f...) and the tires. They're build like a tank. Picked up second hand for some funny money.
Ed, go to Holland and get one there. Or ask someone with the to pick one up on the way from Belgium - the travel cost will be much cheaper.
