Any Joe Breezer Owners Here? Which Model is This? Uptown or Downtown?

I have an opportunity to pick this 3 speed IGH bike up for $60. Assuming it works as advertised, it seems like a pretty good deal. I'm a little concerned about how well it will work on my hilly city, but I guess I can always re-sell it.

I'm wondering if this is an Uptown or Downtown model. Obviously it is missing a fender and possibly a rack and if it's an Uptown, a Dyno headlight. I'm thinking it's a downtown model which means steel frame vs aluminum.

Downtown. As an aside, his name is Joe Breeze. His brand is Breezer.

If it fits you, $60 is a pretty good deal for that bike. You can always lower the gearing for the hills and you still won't have a lot of money invested.

Hope you bought it before somebody else snagged it.
Looks like an absolute bargain for a 90's Breezer.

I think it's probably a 2017 Downtown 3.

Gotcha. Originally it was advertised as a "Joe Breezey"

As long as it's in good condition I'd hope you're going for it. At $60 it's a steal.
