for this kid and his two brothers (who are all the same age) - to share.
www.pinkbike.com/photo/9388187
frame belonged to a racer bud of mine --
l forget the age of that Breezer but it's one of the first years of production.
My bud XC raced with it for several years until the welds around the BB shell cracked.
*** he got married, had a kid and sorta gave up the whole biking thing so he gave me the frame. He's the head chef at a place in Middleburg VA now. pretty busy guy.
l had it hanging in my basement for about 7 years until l finally got around to fixing it the other day.
Another buddy of mine, who owns a used car dealership, got one of his employees fix it with an arc welder.
*** he pretty much just traced the crack with the welder -- now it has big-ass "GT", ugly and beefy welds on it now but after painting it, it's as good as new.
all the rest is just stuff l had laying around in the used parts bins
Shimano Deore cranks
XTR medium cage 9spd rear D
Deore front D
XTR front brake
XT rear brake
Avid 5.0 brake levers
XT/SunRingle' front wheel
Ritchey/Ritchey rear wheel
XTR 9spd cassette
XT shifters
FSA Gap bar
Tioga headset
Redline alloy pedals
the Spank Spoon stem and Spank grips (blueberry) was a donation from the customer who bought a Tr250 from me.
fresh tires, the fork, saddle and post are new items l bought to finish her off.
My twerps are currently riding 24" BMX bikes which are about the same height when you stand the two bikes next to eachother. frame clearance is the only really noticeable difference but the handle bar and saddle are about the same distance for them.. even the reach is about the same --- that's a 15" Breezer frame.
The frame was originally designed around a 80/100" suspension fork but that VooDoo fork you see there is about the same axle to crown height so it fits really well. it is a tad taller but, there's like nothing else out there l can find with the wholesale sources l buy from.

1-1/8

26" ready

wanted to keep it sorta old skool
although it's a tad tall, the fork suits the bike well.
