Greetings from Finland,
I just picked up a Breezer Tornado I won from auction. It was sold as a year model 1996, but I think that's impossible - Tornado was presented first time in 1998 catalog.
Is there any way to track down the actual manufactory details? The only markings I found from frame are H8 and 9510 - unless they are material markings on rear fork.
Bike is equipped with XT brakes, shifters and rear derailleur, while crankset and front derailleur are LX.
Front fork is Marzocchi Z2 X-fly.
Unfortunately no Ritchey parts on bike anymore. The previous owner has been an older gentleman and for example stem is replaced with adjustable one (looking awful I know).
I'm looking forward to restore this bike to as close to catalog model as possible. Don't know if original Interloc TL 5 forks are on market.
