ZERONINE - MY HOLY GRAIL
gossa:
Cheers chaps, spoke to Dirtyvans Rich, he wants to keep his and actually talking to him and looking through my old pics has brought up some interesting Zeronine anomolies. I haven't got all the lowdown yet but there seems to be some specualtion of Zeronines all being made in the USA and by Jag (or whoever made Jag, probably Voris Dixon).
However i've been digging and I think the first 09 frames (85/86) were made by CW and in 87 they were made in Taiwan. Looking at some of my pics, I have Zeronines with and without headtube gussets and with/without under chainstay dropouts. I'm still in touch with the founder of Zeronine and am trying to jog his memory.
For now here's a couple more pics, Pic 1 is my first bike, end of 85, raced at Bercy, I remember the only reason I put the CW bars on there was because they matched the frame!
Next pic is the same frame but Chrome, I swapped my black one for a chrome one with a Zeronine rider from Germany, this pic is from the Euro Champs 86.
This pic is from the World Champs Orlando 87, I bent the back end on this bike at this event, luckily Owen from 09 had some new frames in his car so he gave me a chrome one but the dropouts were not under the chainstay (see last pic). So lots of different shapes, gussetts, dropouts, countries of origin but like i said if anyone is selling, please let me know. The only 85 survivor i know is Pete Middletons that went on ebay a while back, frustratingly it's housed at Hot Wheels, 5 monutes from my house!!!
