It is a 2012 breezer uptown infinity with an uptown 8 frame. Frame was damaged in shipping and since the frames are identical they sent the first available one, which happened to be the 8. The infinity frame for 2012 is a copper & black affair. The 8 frame is green and moss. The infinity is called such because it has a CVT drive instead of a geared hub, giving you "infinite" gears. The frame is a handy compromise between a road geometry and a dutch style geometry. It is a 23.5 inch frame size, which is a larger size. I am tall, so i need the larger frame. It has "town" style handlebars which are comfortable and easy to reach shifter, brakes, bell, but because of the frame geometry it puts most of your weight on the seat & allows the rider to sit back a bit on flat areas, basically it is a very user friendly layout. The wheels are standard 26 inch 36 hole alu rim brake model DH19 from alexrims. Front spokes are OEM, rear spokes are sapim strong spokes. Front tire is freedom cruz 26x1.5, rear tire is kenda kwik trax 1.75 Both have reflective sidewalls for added safety. Brakes are gereric OEM tektro V brakes. It has a dyno hub on front wheel which powers front & rear lights. It has composite polycarbonate wrapped aluminum fenders - the rear fender's middle 2 alu bits act as conductors to connect dyno hub wire to rear light, the rear light also houses the capacitor for the whole system (both lights stay on when stopped). Pedals and cranks are alu & open platform.

On the back is OEM rack, and a pair of trek interchange panniers the shop threw in with the purchase. The yellow bits are the rain covers for the panniers.
