I don't like the aluminum frames; they aren't as sturdy. The Dutch bike got my business because of the steel frame, although I admit that the coaster brakes took some getting used to. The bike I have has one caliper brake, but the coaster brakes are really fast....almost too much so! It took a few tries, but I really do like the thing, and it is really easy to ride. Pedals are sturdy, too.
