Wow what a build. Finding a frame that rear is awesome, but getting the parts is half the battle. you don't find many early breezer around. Tashi has one :

I stood no chance of getting one so made a replica viewtopic.php?f=6&t=250004&hilit=breezer so i get how hard it is just to find the parts.

Great job on that its really a proper Gem.

Re:

Wow that is quite lovely
I chuckled at your comment about looking back at it and loving the finished build I do the same thing.
The only Breezers over here were the range sold in 1992 which were also beautiful bikes and so well built.

They were also sold in '97 I believe (at least in Ireland).
Surprisingly they sold badly and some were heavily discounted, which is how I ended up with a 92 Storm and a couple of 97 Jet Stream frames. The Storm was advertised in MBUK for ages and I didn't think there'd be a chance of raising the funds before it sold, especially following such great reviews, but no one else seemed to want it :roll: Likewise with the frames, which came from the Distributer in Ireland.
Fantastic handling bikes, really smooth, stable and lively. But apparently unloved in GB at the time.
