Huh, I never thought much about these mass-produced rando bikes because I used to see them everywhere when living in Gent. I saw quite a few for sale in the 30-50 euro range. If you're looking for bikes like this don't go to bike shops or deal with bike folks. The folks that own most of these are generally non-cycling people that use the bike for everything. The local newspaper or crapmarkt-- Mitzi and my term for the ubiquitous "swap meets" that litter Belgium on weekends. best, Brandon"monkeyman"Ives misses his G(h)ent local frituur in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho.
