No Shipping Charge and a Free Pre-Build for a Limited Time

Joe Breeze decided to expand the Breezer bicycle line for 2012 with the introduction of the Downtown line of Transportation bikes. Featuring Hi-Ten Steel frames the Downtown bicycles are aptly named for heart of the city cycling.

One look and you'll see why the Downtown 8 will stand out from the crowd of steel framed city bikes. Designed for great performance, ergonomic efficiency and exceptional handling, the Downtown 8 will deliver supreme comfort and style. The foundation of the Breezer Downtown 8 is a classic Hi-Ten Steel frame with the Breezer "Breeze-In" Dropouts. The "dropout" part of the frame is where your rear wheel's axle attaches to the frame. Joe Breeze's iconic Breeze-In drop out offers twice the rigidity and half the weight of standard dropouts. Breeze-Ins enable the stays to extend as close as possible to the rear axle and improves everything from the ride, to shifting and wheel changes. Steel frames are a favorite for many cyclists because of the materials ability to absorb vibration, making it a soft, comfortable ride.

The drivetrain is an Internal Nexus 8-speed hub for an expanded gear range for tackling both the hills and flats with easy to use twist shifrer that provides reliable performance and very low maintenance. Equipped with mountain bike brakes, the Downtown 8 offers the security of sure-stopping power when you are ready to slow down the smooth rolling 700c wheels. Rounded out with fenders, a chaninguard and a rear carrier rack, the Downtown 8 will take you anywhere you want to go.
