If you haven’t checked out Breezer’s pavement collection lately, it’s worth a look, particularly the very svelte Liberty hybrid city/commuter bikes. Now, bridging the gap between those and their mountain bikes and jumping straight into the popular gravel segment is their first modern road bike, the Inversion.
Built with Breezer’s D’Fusion double butted chromoly and Apex brake mounts that mix flat mount front and standard post mount rear disc brakes, the bike is a real beauty. Behind it, inside the truck bed, is an original 1978 Breezer Series 1 mountain bike, that’s also worth a look…
The tapered and heavily shaped headtube belies the fact the frame is made from steel. Inside it is a full carbon fork with internal brake routing.
The fork’s dropouts have stealth fender mounts, and the back of the frame has full rack and fender mounts. Note the shaped seatstay bridge, too. Lots of little details like that make this a bike we’re lusting after.
New Breezer dropouts are modified for 142×12 thru axles. The axle threads directly into a big, solid derailleur hanger.
The rear brake sits on post mounts split between the chainstay and seatstay, yet somehow doesn’t come off as too much of a contrast with the sleeker flat mount brakes up front. The fork also uses a 12mm axle.
