I actually quite like the 1" head tube. I think it's the main reason, along with the long, slim stem, that the front end feels so comfortable without being imprecise. But you are right, finding a fork if you don't have the original one could be a bit of a challenge.

You can also insert them as a full picture. See left upper corner in the preview when attaching the picture to your comment. Impressive collection !

Same here. Yes it came with an interesting mix of parts. Here is the full list: Mine is missing the original seatpost, saddle and pedals but thats okay. I'm still incredibly happy to have found it.

I love the project so far! I'm not much into drop bars as I'm not able to enjoy them without pain but I find the looks always very cool. MTB frames have a long top tube so you might need a shorte stem to compensate that. I'm curious how it will look when it is finished. Your colour choice...

Once all that maintenance was done, nothing stood in the way of a great weekend... except the weather, but that didn't spoil the fun. The clouds are getting thinner and the sun is comming out a little... Let's go! That's what we wanted! Sun, fun and trails! That moment when the little...

But before I could get started, I had to take care of a few minor details. However, since the bike was in excellent condition for its age, there wasn't really anything major to do. I cleaned and re-greased all the bearings, replaced the brake pads, fitted flat pedals that offer sufficient grip...

Yeah it is. I was finally lucky and found one that fits really well if not perfectly.

The bike then stood in the shed over the winter until I had a couple of spare wheels that I fitted temporarily. I then rode it for quite a while and now I could understand why Breezers are so popular. This thing flies! It feels incredibly efficient and yet very comfortable. The decision was...

Early November 🤦🏻‍♂️

When I finally got home with it, I had time to take a closer look. Yes, @PhillB, they are Backdraft rims – you have a good eye. You can see the bike's age, but the rust is only superficial and the cracks in the paintwork are minimal. Most of the damage is in the clear coat around the...

My journey home took me first through my hometown to visit a few friends, and here too, the Breezer was a faithful companion. Until I heard an unpleasant *CLINK* from the rear wheel. A spoke nipple had broken off. The aluminium was completely corroded. Luckily, on a Saturday, 10 minutes...

When I picked it up in the evening and took it back to the hotel, I still couldn't believe my luck. The Breezer was naturally my mode of transport for my appointments over the next few days. "My God, help me survive this treacherous love." The bike rode well, the geometry suited me...

Okay, here we go... So I had just bought a completely original Breezer Lightning that had only been ridden on cycle paths....in Lübeck, 700kms away! I don't know a soul in Lübeck. Sh#t! But as they say, luck favours the foolish, and this was no exception. The seller mentioned that he was in...

Once upon a time...which means in March 2024...my little electronic search agent found a bike on the internet that I had wanted ever since I first saw one. Unfortunately, they are not offered very often, and it is even rarer to find an offer where the price and condition are so well matched. So...

Since I screwed the front rack onto my Kuwahara for a tour in the summer and yesterday harvested a couple of cool brake boosters from another bike, I thought I'd tinker a little with the GT. I also had some 2.4" wide tyres I wanted to try and those monster-shin-eater pedals. So now the GT is...

Cold in the mornings but now nice and sunny outside so I did a little lunch ride.

Wow, just wow!!

Understandably! Here is my favourite non-retrobike
