I hope you meant $1000 a piece. If not, go buy as many as you can at that price! I looked at some when I was in Geilenkirchen, Germany last year (right on the Dutch border). VERY cool bikes. The Dutch know a thing or two about building bicycles. That said, I agree that a lighter bike would make good sense if you are traveling significant distances on hilly terrain.

Anyway, yeah -- I know the bikes you're talking about, and they ARE pretty cool!
