I think the OP probably needs to consider whether bike shops in NL will actually have much in stock. You might get lucky, but likely not.

Very good point, I foolishly thought that supply problems wouldn't affect a cycling nation like the NL,but it likely affects them just as much.
Despite being able to search for almost anything on 't interweb , you will have find what you're looking for, so a physical look & feel can give better results.
Who doesn't like looking in bike shops......

Here's a gratuitous shot of my Dutch bike. A huge number of spokes!
Bought for €75 years ago and lives in my son's cellar.

Dutchies just do what you need to do, for utility cycling, imagine riding that in super stiff wooden clogs !
I rather fancy a Dutch cargo trike, but I couldn't keep it at home, already got enough on my hardstand at home, a motorScoot, a box trailer, and dinghy!
Can't get another bulky bike in my hall , already a recumbent trike living there.
