My wife has a Giant bike that comes with everything you describe except the
basket, which I easily fitted. Its the Giant SuXes 7. (That is how its
spelt)It has a seven speed Nexus hub, front and rear hub brakes, built in
rear lock, bright dynamo lights, chain and skirt guard, carrier you could
load an elephant onto, bell and so on..

She fell in love with Dutch style bikes when we were on holiday in Amsterdam
last year and after scouring everywhere we decided the Giant is the best
equipped and most durable. Its built like a tank and you won't win any races
on it as its heavy, but after a year of constant use and being jammed into a
shed overnights with the other bikes it still looks like new. The strange
thing is it was about half the price of the other Dutch bikes we looked at.

Theres a link to it in English at:

Its also on the Giant french site at:
