The Electra Amsterdam's are also OK but don't quite have all the features and durability of a Dutch bikes. Also, contact Marcus here on our site about his Azor Secret Service. He still hasn't sold it and would be probably make a deal for you. Kurt,

He did get some help steering his piece in the right direction, but again, he's a fashion editor :).

That's a sexy Azor Secret Service you've got a picture of there! But boy, those things are expensive over here! But I could really use a new status symbol! You wouldn't happen to know where a guy could buy a used one at a substantial discount, would you? 57 cm frame size or so? (: Wow! That’s a sexy Azor Secret Service you’ve got a picture of there!
