A few years ago I thought about buying a frameset for my oldest daughter and holding it until she was older. Framesets dropped to $270 or so at bikewagon/jenson/nashbar. Dont remember where.
Couldn't pull the trigger based on predicting what would work in the future due to the wonked geometry.
Crazy good deal for anyone that fit the geometry.
The Breezer Venturi was a full on racing frameset. It featured a revolutionary Dropped top tube design (horizontal, not sloping). Mine had a 0.4 mm thick top tube in the thin center section, Tange Presitge tubing. If you are not an active racer the bike is not at all your best choice. I had a ton of seatpost out and a Mountain Bike stem to get the bars up high enough, yet the top tube length was perfect for me. It was one of the best bikes I have ever owned, it was eager to accelerate, floated over small bumps, and was very lightweight for its time.
