I bought a Gazelle Primeur in Amsterdam for €99 and made it look like it does in the bottom picture. I rode it as a pedal brake for about 250 miles back home to the UK. It wasn't a great bike for touring but it did the job. I then turned into a fixie one I was home because that's what I do.
The bike is heavy as fuck and slow as fuck until I made it a fixie. I just keep it as my pannier rack/giving girls a backie bike.
As someone who only rides steel frame vintage fixies I would avoid Dutch bikes all together.
