That Breezer is a good deal.

Fleetsailor, I got a Felt Cafe8 to leave at my sisters for when I visit. I am very impressed with it as a utilitarian commuter and grocery getter. It comes in a triple chainring version. The impressive thing about it is the super long chainstay length and wheelbase which makes for stable handling with a pannier load. You don't need to go over $800, you do need a floor pump.


here's the specs

19 3/4" chainstays
45 3/4" wheelbase

it's a solid frame but not a heavy bike. I was able to fit 40mm Mondiale tires on it. It's a 21st century version of my first derailleur bike, a Schwinn Suburban 5spd.
