Re: My Breezer Lightning Singlespeed
thanks for the comments. i think this is my 5th breezer lightning? i've probably ridden more hours on breezers than i have on all other bikes combined. i recently broke the very first one i bought as a 14-year-old (pic below), a singlespeed on which i had put huge miles. this was such a devastating event that i decided to build myself an especially minty one, as an homage of sorts.
i've been practicing huge restraint, and I haven't ridden this one yet, aside from around the neighborhood, as it's not quite finished. regarding the brakes, they were OEM (see catalog below), and they're some of my favorite brakes. i'm still hoping to find some NOS ritchey cranks and champagne/gold wcs pedals like pictured in the catalog below, as the cranks are the only used part on the bike, and it's still obviously sharing a set of pedals with my other bikes.
