Back in the mid 90s, the sleek, elegant Breezer mountain bikes made me swoon. Then they disappeared, with the brand being consigned to commuter bikes. No shame in that – and also no excitement (not for me, at least).
Now, Breezer owner and all-around mensch Joe Breeze has done enough planet saving through bike commuting, and he’s getting back to his mountain biking roots: The awesome Breezer Thunder (aluminum) and Lightning (steel) are back for 2010! Cycleicio.us has a nice preview of the Thunder with more real info than what I’m offering in my fanboy drooling.
Breezers still make me weak in the knees. Joe has wisely spec’d these bikes to eliminate finicky fluff. They’re modern workhorse bikes – technologically advanced frames, excellent suspension, solid but unassuming components. And also some of the best-looking, most distinctive and dignified bicycles on the planet.
I still have questions – where are the frames made? Are they available frame-0nly? Where can I find a dealer? But overall …
If Borat rode a bicycle, he’d say “Ah, sexy time! Very nice … how much?”
