We've talked a lot about Breezer's Uptown models. They are fully-dressed aluminum commuter bikes that come standard with a full chaincase, fenders, rear rack, internal gear hub, and even dynamo lights. So it would be hard for Breezer to top that. Unless...
Unless you really like the feel of steel. Downtown is Breezer's classic chromoly steel town bike. It comes with a chainguard, fenders, rear rack, bell, and Shimano Nexus 8 IGH. The only thing missing is the lights. It would be even better with lights, but you can add your own battery-powered lights.
