Summary:
Purchased for my wife a U framed 7 speed with Nexus internal tranny. Model Uptown 7.

Strengths:
My wife loves the low stepover height of the frame. 26" wheels with fatter tires work on all riding surfaces.

Weaknesses:
The problem I encountered with this bike must be fixed immediatelly by both the Breezer Co. and Shimano. No approved dealer in my area had a replacement for the "inside cable fixing nut". This is not my terminolgy, its strait out of owners manual.
Mitch at Breezer told me to call Shimano, which I did. Shimano, however will not sell to indevituals. Told me to have dealer order the part. The dealers response was, "we can't get this part". Have you heard of catch "22"?
Everyone involved with getting this product to the customer must get this issue resolved.
