Stellar Value - Good Build

Cool bike, great value at 50% off

I am overall pleased with my purchase, I had not bought a brand new bike in over a decade but have purchased 5 -6 used bikes online in that time. The bike was delivered in about 4 days which I was happy about, and since I am fairly confident with working on bikes I was ready to set it up and ride it. Unfortunately, out of all the bikes I have had shipped to me, the box it came in was by far in the worst shape. It was almost ripped in half and punctured in a few places, both rims were bent and not just in need of truing (I took them to a reputable bike shop to reach this conclusion). I reached out to Breezer and was quickly sent a replacement wheelset minus the cassette, tires and rotors. Changing a tube while out riding would be a nightmare cause man these tires are hard to get seated on the rim correctly, soapy water and over inflating it was necessary for me.) The bike also required the front brake caliper to be installed to the frame, screws were in a separate bag within the box. Front derailleur needed some work, would not shift at all, and also the brakes needed some adjusting. (Honestly most of this tuning should probably be expected for any new bike purchase). One thing that bothered me was the crankset was substituted for a FSA one of similar quality and value, but I much prefer the look of the GRX and wanted to match the other components. There is a disclaimer on the specs section of the listing online that I did not originally see. Despite all that, I am pleased with the bike and the service from Breezer. The bike feels really good to ride and has lots of potential for customization and utility with the wide tire/ fender clearance and eyelet mounts all over the place! It’s on the heavier side and I would have preferred to have a couple colors to choose from, but definitely a great value at 50% off! If you are not someone with experience working on bikes I highly recommend having professional bike mechanic assemble the bike as it will almost definitely require some fine tuning and give you peace of mind.

Overall, great bike!

Purchase the bike during Black Friday deals. I have not rode it yet because it’s been raining in the PNW. However, look forward to do so when the weather is nice. Put the bike together was pretty straightforward. Overall, it’s a good looking bike.
