It's just the Breed comes with 650b wheels and the Broam with 700C wheels.
That's actually pretty sweet. It gives a lot of workable options. Everything pretty much works – from 700x25 road tires on up to 650x53.
And one correction from what I stated in my original post (they changed the specs on the website) – both the Breed and the Broam have 160mm brake rotors on the front and 140mm on the back.
Where you live there's 20 bike shops and try measuring the actual distance of that rear tire clearance. It could be that tire clearance may require how much clearance there really is. In one of the 20 shops, ask to measure the clearance on say a Open Cycle, UP. This will give you some indication of that Felt bike.
