Hey -- speak to Stefan at Amsterdammers (in the Open Market, Brighton) on 01273571555. He got me my first Dutch bike (a Sparta shopper), fairly budget but a great ride. When she got nicked near London Fields recently he sorted me out with a Giant, Dutch tourer, so it's light, fffast and flies about London, joy to ride with good gears and saddle. Sparta was £180, Giant £295 and perfect for commuting. Also changing the rear is no problem if you can hang the bike. Stefan looks after you, it may take him a little while to get a good 2nd hand bike, but he's good, fair and it's a brilliant excuse to head to London-by-Sea. Tell him I'm loving my Giant!
If money were no object I'd go for a Gazelle and nip over on the Dutch flyer (liverpool st - harwich - hook van holland, cheap booked early).
Pashley Smashley. If I want to buy an unliftable crate I'll get my next Dutch bike made out of solid gold, ta. Same with Capitol, ugh.
PS the Druid's Head is nearest pub
