Requesting the honour of your accompaniment by motorless conveyance, beeyatch!
We've noticed a few of these retro Dutch cycles around town, and it turns out that a Vancouver company called Jorg & Olif is producing them from Belgian-made frames and Dutch-designed components.
This is apparently available in 1, 3, and 8 speeds-- sweet internal hubs, none of this Lime-bike autoshifting transmission nonsense. Also, a hand-built Dutch cargo design!
Hate the chain guard, but any bike that comes with fenders, rack, handpump, and Brooks saddle--well, tear the sucker off and find a cooler one. Or go without, and wear wool knickers.
The only other challenge will be feeling like you're trapped in an Abercrombie & Fitch catalog when you're riding one of these 'round Beacon Hill.

Haa. I was just about to think that. They sure are purty though.
