Hi, can anyone help identify this frame and forks. On the right rear drop out it has the number 33910 stamped. Also on each rear dropout are the letters L H and R H, obvs for left hand/right hand. As you can see from the pics it is a lugged frame the welds look a bit rough to me but the tubing seems in very good condition it almost looks like stainless steel. I can see no markings on the forks.
Any help would be much appreciated.

I'm no expert bit it looks like a Marlbro Zapper to me:

Yep... definitely a Marlboro. :daumenhoch:

agreed :daumenhoch: apparently the lugged versions are better than the welded versions?

Thanks for the replies lads. I actually realised it was a zapper late last night after seeing one on BMX museum. Although i couldn't identify the frame I took a punt on eBay because It had a nice SR crankest and headset and the frame looked old school. Have been wanting to build an old school racing BMX for many years-bitd I used to build them- but the prices have been crazy. Stripping the bike down took me right back to the eighties and I am glad am back into it.

That's what it's all about! Have fun and good luck with the build plus don't forget to show us some progress pics as you go. :daumenhoch:
