Breezer Lightning frame SOLD
- Thread starter tfayet
- Start date
It burns in my heart. I don't have the cash and I think it's too small for me.....
These are GREAT frames. I used to sell these bikes many years ago and my father bought one. They ride great and I would rate them almost at the same level as FAT.
I remember Joe Breeze had the philosophy that the core of any bike was it's frame so no compromize should be made when making the frame. I seem to remember that they made one frame and put different sets of equipment on them to differentiate so regardless of what bike you bought you got a great frame.
If I'm not mistaken they called the different bikes for:
- Storm (Green with STX level equipment)
- Thunder (Blue with LX/XT level)
- Jet Stream (Red with XT level and the only one with suspension as default)
- Lightning (top model with XTR and rigid fork).
Very hard to find!!

I just keep coming back to this thread....
Back in the days when I was riding these bikes they had the same unexplainable "magic" that you get from Klein and Fat. I can't really say what it is but these frames are "alive" in some way and not "alive" because of lack of stiffness like Marin and KHS (and many other factory bikes from Taiwan) in the mid 90's.
A true work of art these frames and a great classic design too!
