that's why its called the Amsterdam, because it's the only city flat enough for it
Has it got the built in keyed lock you see on bikes in the Netherlands?
You must not ride a lot. 13kgs isn’t that bad for a geared bike
I have had this bik eand the single speed electric. I have owned multiple carbon gravel bikes and honestly prefer this. Hydraulic brakes, belt drive and internal gears make this actually the ultimate urban bike. Its honestly a good light bike. robust as shit. Think of it as a war horse, whereas a carbon bike is a stallion and a hybrid is a donkey.
So this is a good bike to get?
… and a tricycle is a Shetland.

A gravel bike is a camel.

This bike is good and very solid for the right strong rider.
I still prefer the classic light flat bar with the alloy frame and whether it's a horse or a donkey it all depends on the rider.
What's the best colour?
Red and yellow tend to go faster, but green and blue are more eco-friendly. Brown is just crap.
You can use PG76WXM17FNH for another $50 off. (Thanks Annan https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/768031?page=1#comment-1367…)
I bought this in April, pretty sure it's price hasn't gone up since the last sale.
I'm not a big bike person, but I've been happy with it so far. It already was heavy so it didn't feel that bad adding a pannier rack and bags for commuting. The rear disk brake is also out of the way so it should support non-disk brake racks too.
The wheels are really fat so you'll struggle to fit the wheel and frame into a u-lock. I got a kryptonite mini 7 and it just barely fits the rear wheel. The front fenders were also not suitable for vertical bike racks I have at work.
I also just bought the Kryptonite Mini 7 for this bike. Can you fit both the rear wheel and frame inside when locking to a regular bike rack?
The Mini 7 is too small to fit both the frame and rear wheel. It's only ~8.35cm wide; you would need one which is >14.5cm wide. (I've got the 50cm Lekker so it might vary).
You shouldn't have any issues using the Sheldon Brown method though. Although, it is a tight fit around the rear wheel and I've scratched up my mudguards a little bit. You also have the option of locking the frame and using the included cable to secure both wheels instead.
I'm very happy with the lock, it provides great protection for it's size and weight.
Also, I'd recommend adding an O-ring to each side of the shackle. This will stop it rattling, especially if you frame mount the lock. You can take off the existing rubber rings and put the O-rings on first so they don't fall off too.
Has anyone done an electric conversion on this bike? Looking to retain the 8-speed gears at least.
If ordering through click and collect (letting them build it for you), the lead time will be about 2-3 weeks. I ordered on 9/7 for collection from Alexandria and its still in progress but the rep tells me it will be ready by next Wednesday at the latest.
13kg with aluminium frame? Lol a gimmick bike
This is for the 3 speed gears, not 8 speed? Check that prior to purchase.
The only other downside is the frame might be a bit heavy, but there a good deal of positives.
Another consideration is the 650b tyres. If you have long legs you might prefer 700c tyres.
But it has Gates CDX components, not the cheaper Gates CDN.
It has mudguards and rack already installed, by the photo's - finding and installing mudguards is a pain.
@WaveZero I brought a Lekker ebike about 4-5 years ago. 8-speed internal geared hub. The motor is in the front wheel. Worked fine and was dependable. This bike looks very similar to the ebike I brought and i would be very easy to buy a front wheel conversion kit to fit this bike(I have fitted a front wheel a electric motor kit to a tandem bike.) The only thing to be aware of is to put a torque arm on the wheel with the motor.
Thanks mate! Great to hear that it will work well with a front wheel electric kit conversion.
I contracted them by email and asked if I could make it tubeless. That is, if the rims were compatible with tubeless tyres. I know the WTB Horizon tyres are. I was told by the person answering the email that their mechanics said no. Can that be right? It doesn't sound right to me.
Anyone else able to chime in with their experience with this bike?
Just picked up mine today but in the 3 speed version. Bike rides like a dream and powers through two killer hills on the way home from work; however, you will feel every single bump in the pavement.
Thanks, an that's the standard non-ebike version?
Do you mind if I ask what size it is, and your measurements? I'm like 169cm with shortish legs haha
Yes, the non ebike version. I bought the medium size but I probably should've gotten a small. I'm 176cm with 70 cm legs and I can just about push myself around on my toes with the seat in the lowest position.
I have a Lekker Jordaan and it’s awesome. These are commuter cruiser bikes. You won’t win any races but you’ll be really comfortable and having a blast on it. Plus the racks etc make carting stuff around really simple.
I've been heavily considering this bike for a while, but I can't test ride it here in Adelaide and I've been trying to pick between the 50 cm and 56 cm sizes.
I'm 174 cm tall with an inseam leg length of 78 cm, which size should I go for?
I'm in-between sizes too and didn't get a change to test ride before buying either. 174cm, 83cm inseam. I ended up going with the 50cm and it was fine. It did initially feel a little small but raising the seat mitigated it. I'm guessing the 56cm would have been too big.
13kgs, going to struggle up hills :)
