too samey for me, looks too similar to modern Specialized and Marin etc.....

Not too sure on the curve in the down tube on the steel model, but if it'll be available in the gorgeous red metallic that the '90s Breezers were then yum!

What are those aberrations doing in the place where a lovely rigid fork should be.

That paint design still looks beautifull, a true classic.

In the original article, below the pictures, there are first hand details in english from Joe himself.

Shame they've lost many of the beautiful details of the originals.

Like the cable guides fixed to the head tube to prevent cable rub etc...

It was touches like that that showed a design had been really considered.

At least they've kept the drop outs though...

Too many bikes being produced for too little money these days. Neat designs get shoe-horned out. As has already been said, great looking bikes but rather ordinary under the paint.

Why have frames had to be bent and buggered about with so that dumb ass riders can have 5" of travel and low front ends? Big forks and risers have a lot to answer for...

It is an unfortunate truth that bent downtubes are actually pretty swell.

Not only do they give clearance for all these super wide works that are on the market now, they are actually considerably stronger. Like 20% or so.
