'Anchor Steamer' made for the 1979 San Francisco to New York record attempt by Otis Guy and Joe Breeze. The bike can be seen at the 'US Bicycling Hall of Fame' in Davis. CA.
Otis Guy and Joe Breeze commissioned Tom Ritchey to build a tandem for a cross-country (SF-NY) record attempt. Early in 1979 Joe showed his Breezer #1 MTB to Tom. Joe wanted Tom to join the two sets of twin laterals to the seat tubes on the tandem the same way he had joined them on his Breezer (with an elliptisized cross tube).
Breezer #1 was the first such balloon-tire bike Tom had ever seen and his ample mental machinery went spinning. I hooked him up with Gary Fisher and... well... you know the rest. - Joe Breeze
