Build date information on my 2 Breezers...

[Jimmy oldskool]

Does anyone have any links or direction that I can take to gather build date and spec information for my Breezer Lightning and Jet Stream?

The Lightning is built and beautiful, but the Jet Stream is just a F&F, so I'd like to build it fairly period correct...

Cheers

Jimmy

The Jet Stream frame is very similar to the Lightning, but was built up to a complete bike with an M539 XT groupset rather than the XTR on the Lightning, with a Judy XC suspension fork, and (mostly) Ritchey (WCS?) finishing kit (stem, handlebars, seatpost, etc.)

My Jet Stream is built up with '99 M750 9 speed XT. Because, if I had owned it since '97, that is what I would have upgraded it to as soon as I could afford to. It also has Fox F80 RLC forks (because I like going round corners better than Judy XCs ever let me), Tubeless Schwalbe Nobby Nic 2.25" tyres and Thomson bars, stem and seatpost (because I can). It rides brilliantly.

Superb riding bikes. I’ve a ’97 Jetstream as well, period correct-ish but nowhere near catalogue spec. Campag Icarus, Topline, Paul brakes, Crossmax, Ti riser bars and seatpost. The (rigid) forks are also Ti, which I find compliments the supple frame really well .
At just over 20lbs it’s the nicest riding bike I’ve owned. Impossible to not be happy on the Breezer!

No pic’s, sorry. I’m planning of having it re painted so might do a build thread then.
