Anyone have an idea where the '90s models breezer lightning frames where made?

The later ones at least were made by Hodaka in Taiwan.

Thanks for the quick response. I'm on a '90s bontrager right now, and that does most of what I need it to do, but I've come across what is said to be a '97 or so breezer lightning. In an ideal word I'd like to to be US. Looking to replace the Bontrager with a smaller frame for the trail riding and turn the bontrager into a commuter.

I'm pretty sure that all '90s Breezers were made in Taiwan. Don't let that put you off though -you might be able to find a slightly better built US frame (Dekerf, Fat Chance etc) but the Breezer ride is lovely, esp the later ones with the D-fusion tubing.
I've a '97 Lightning, and I wouldn't swap it for anything. Go for it!
(and be sure to post some pic's here..)
