My love affair with steel made mtbs and road bikes is no secret and over the years I have somehow managed to amass a small little collection of some truly beautiful machines, this is one of those such wonderful machines I’d like to share with you.
Living in the UK ‘Breezer’ bikes were not often seen or at least not by myself, but it was a ’scratch’ that I definitely needed to itch , the search began, ..
Those who know me know that I’m super picky about the overall condition of the bikes that I take in![Face with peeking eye :face_with_peeking_eye: 🫣](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1fae3.png)
, and anything made of remotely lightweight steel seems to have a habit of just melting into a pile of rusty ashes over here, so this made things even harder as every breezer that I managed to track down for sale was just junk.,
My OCD and craziness made the situation worse as I wanted a specific colourway that was only produced during the 1994 production run of Breezer Storm bikes, this colour way was called Purple and moonglow pearl
As I had a plan buried somewhere in the depths of my inner soul , I knew however that should I happen find an original bike, that most of, if not all of the oem components would have to be changed out for something a little more 90’s , Trick and purple![Winking face :wink: 😉](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png)
After several years of searching and honestly almost giving up hope, I got a call from my good friend Ian to say that he had found something special for me , , all he would tell me it was purple and steel , would I like it ?
A few weeks had passed, and I had forgot all about that intriguing conversation but my friend had not , a knock came at the door , and it was Ian with a cardboard box , saying I’d better sit down and get my wallet ready..
The box was opened and inside was perfection,
I was truly shocked and amazed, what the heck..![Face with peeking eye :face_with_peeking_eye: 🫣](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1fae3.png)
, if this was not enough, the box contained a second fork , the original Spinner 691 ![Smiling face with sunglasses :sunglasses: 😎](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f60e.png)

… it was all down to me from here,,
