Finally after over a year I have finally finished my mk1 breezer.:
I took ages to find all the parts. find and copy the geometry. Soem parts like the fork crowns were one off’ so its been a bit of big job. but very happy with the end product.

Joe Breeze himself has seen this one on retro bike and said: “Yours is the third B1 replica I know of. First was in Germany in early-mid 90s, then Zürich in maybe 2000.
You’ve nailed a number of details. Maybe you’ve heard that my Breezer #1 is now in the Smithsonian. Crazy.
The making of replicas of Breezer #1: Fine by me, may they multiply. Far prefer it than nobody caring.” Joe Breeze

Beautiful reproduction and I would love to have one. How does it ride?

Its actually pretty stable and not that far different from a modern all mountain if it was rigid.
