Re:

Sinnerman-Breezer Ignaz X

Styled on the original Schwinn Excelsior and other Repack Bikes that gave us the Foundations of the Mountain bike.

Owned for the Last 24 years(or So), so sadly no Thread to speak of, and whilst it may not be a BOTM winner its a worthy kickstart to this months Comp.

Keep Safe people, stay home, and keep smiling.

(NO BUILD THREAD)---- Read this instead, the Best bicycle book you will ever read.....! https://www.velopress.com/books/fat-tire-flyer/

Since lockdown I've been throwing a few bikes together. I might actually get all the projects done if it goes on much longer! So here's a project I finished yesterday....

markjohnson76 1992 Orange Aluminium O

Full black XT m730. Early Pace forks (that still need new elastomers). Pace RC130 bars, Onza grips. Specialized BX rims with a set of nice original issue Smokes.

I think it needs a black seat post but all in good time:)
