No, but I've owned a facsimile, a Marin San Anselmo with fenders, rack,
and a Nexus 7 hub. I rode it tens of thousands of miles. First bike I
owned that really became an old friend like a sort of velo-horse. It
was ridden every day of the year save blizzards. A gorgeously
transparent vehicle like the rest of the world enjoys. I miss it
dearly. So many good times and great experiences on it. That bike
taught me the streets of Chicago, took me to work, fetched okra on
Devon Street and carried me down to the best torta shacks in Pilsen on
the south side. Stolen once, recovered, and traded for a ceremonial
bottle of The Tyrconnell, ridden again for a few years, then
accidentally left on a back porch unlocked where it was stolen.

Nice choice, that Breezer. No bull****. It's a bike, in the same way
that a Brooks Brothers is a suit.
