1980 Breezer Series II

Home Up Next

Like all Breezer frames of this vintage, this one was hand built by Joe Breeze. This bike was personally assembled by Breeze for Barnaby Angell, a friend and fellow student of Joe's from Tamalpais High School.  Barnaby had been riding fat tire bikes since the early 1970s. His brother, Josh Angell, and Joe invented the Breeze & Angell Hite-Rite Seat Locating Spring, one of the most successful mountain bike accessories ever.  This is the ninth of twenty-five bikes in the second series of Breezers.  Other than that, just check out the pictures below.
