I've had a Breezer Uptown U-frame for three years and I love it. The hub generator is very handy, I can just reach down and flick the lights on while I'm riding. The chain guard is an indispensable commuting accessory -- I can ride to work in dress slacks and not trash my clothes.
The Breezer's stock Europa tires are fine on stone dust or packed dirt, but I would want more tread if I were regularly riding on loose gravel.
