I have about 400 miles on my recently purchased Breezer Uptown 8. I wanted an all weather bike for day and night-this is it. Great quality for $850! Nice parts and classic looks too. Ride it in the rain, then just park it. Chain stays very clean. I never owned fenders and am amazed how they keep the bike clean not just the rider. The sensor lights are great when you ride before sunset and return after dark. I have a wireless Cateye that I have not reset since new and it reads about 9mph average speed overall for those 400 miles. Certainly a joke speed to roadies but not too slow for my varied riding style. Although aluminum it is heavy. Skip the front suspension and I think it actually weighs 32.5 lbs. I'll own other bikes but this one I'll keep as the most versatile. After owning the Uptown 8 I would not consider any of the lesser Breezer models with only three speeds and sidewall generators unless Joe Breeze comes out with some colors other than black.
