How are the Batavus bikes? Are they anything good? And on hilly roads? Do people like the old vintage look? Price/quality? What do you like most about a Batavus bike? I see there is a special dutch bike only for the north american market, the Fryslan. It has a classic look but is suited for the roads and long distance travelling in North America if i am right. I am very curious about the succes of this bike, is it really suited for mountain roads? Do people like it? Is there anything negative about the bike? I am very fond on bicycles but living outside NA. I want to get familiar with the bicycle culture in NA and am looking forward to some replies! Hello,
