No, they almost have nothing in common.
Or maybe a certain number of them do.
Mainly no-nonsense road bikes, very little decoration, no extreme focus on lightweight, policy = reliability.
Of course, there are exceptions.
O yeah, The Netherlands has a reputation for criterium riding (almost same as UK), 1 to 2 km courses with 4 to 100,000 corners per lap.
So, the frames tend to be a bit short, steep and high BB.
Typically frame sizes go up to 66cm and sometimes more.
Talking about modern bikes: no, these are designed, engineered and produced far, far away.
So, no difference with all other bikes.
Correct me if I'm wrong.
