We mentioned the original one last year and now there's a sequel – the Hollander II vintage-style city bike at Made.

Vintage-style Hollander city bikes in new colours at Made.com
We have featured these in the past, but if you haven't got round to picking up one of the vintage-style Hollander city bikes, there's a new selection of colours just landed at Made.com, in pink, cream and khaki green.
As you've probably noticed, this is a Dutch-style city bike, made by a company with 'sixty years experience in creating high quality bicycles', apparently 'well-known for their craftsmanship and attention to detail'. The refreshed range is the women's version of the single-gear bicycle, with luggage carrier, stand, bell, light and pump all included. The frame is steel, with leather, spring-mounted saddle and steel calliper brakes.
Like all Made.com gear, the three bikes are offered heavily discounted for a limited period of time. In this case, £179, down from the high street price of £549. That price is available for around 10 days. See the other colours over the page.

All-new Lambretta LN scooter priced for UK
Regular readers might remember that we featured the return of the Lambretta at the back end of last year. Well, the details of the Lambretta LN scooter launch are starting to take shape – with details of a new Lambretta LS scooter also emerging.
First up, the LN scooter, which has now landed at selected dealers ahead of the full launch. One of those is WK Bikes wkbikes.com, which will have the LN 125. There's an LN 150 to follow later in the year. Both are 'twist and go' automatic scooters, mixing that with old school looks reminiscent of the original using plastic and metal.
Not as cheap as you think though. Made in Taiwan and imported into the UK, the Lambretta LN 125 sells for around £3,300. Ouch. Look out for a twin-seated LS scooter too – that's pictured over the page and will come in 50cc and 125cc models. Likely to be cheaper, but we suspect not by a huge amount.
Beg Bicycles – vintage-style cycles and accessories
The world of vintage cycling seems to be a rapidly growing one right now, with Cambridge-based Beg Bicycles being the latest to enter the fray.
The company claims to mix retro charm with the latest modern components – chrome handlebars, a posture-perfect steel frame, classic Brooks leather saddle, leather handle grips and a retro colour palette (Persephone Pink, Toad Grey and Flirty 30s Green) mix it with high quality bicycle components for the integrated hub gears and roller brakes, with a built-in hub-powered dynamo light system topping things off.
