This was my friends bike Dan Wright bike he had it custom built for him in the 90s......no one had seen it for like 15 then it showed up in my friends shop Cooper Cycles in portsmouth so i had to get it...looking to get this rechromed as it very dull in places and flaking off wich is a shame but will look great when finished......http://s1235.photobucket.com/albums/ff425/whatquid/Zima%20Frame%201994/

They look a bit flimsy to me.
-
The more I look at that frame the more I like it, didn't really notice the seatpost bit, those forks are fooking lovely.
-
yer the seat post is kind of cool and is massive, well oversized dont know what the dimentions better check the link above but shes big.....
-
On my wanted list :smitten:
-
Hasn't Mr Harris got one ?
-
I like the "tech spec"
F&F Weight: Do you really need to know?
Its got to be around the 10 lbs mark :shocked:
-
Hasn't Mr Harris got one ?
Harris has or had one for sure , he also had some nifty 95 spoke wheels ( personally I think he should donate them to me ) :coolsmiley:
-
Hasn't Mr Harris got one ?
Yeah - saw it a couple of months ago in the flesh - forkin' (pun intended) lovely :daumenhoch:
-
Can't believe the forks are in one piece still, the two people I know that had one, destroyed them
steerer tube and fork legs made out of different stuff apparently
-
how much are they fetching now ?
-
i was gonna buy one of these when they came out, phoned up to order one and was told there was a 6 month waiting list. ended up buying something else. my mate john buultjens had one tho, i remember he had the s&m heavy as fook decals on it.
-
mmmmmmmmmmmmm :smitten: :smitten: i want one , that is a stunning looking frame :)
-
a few of my friends had the forks, i know of about three pairs that are floating around now, Denis Wingham has still got his ones and they stright which for him is strange..haha but i know that mr hitcher had a nasty off with a set of them, i suppose its like anything realy if you give it enough abuse there gonna go but compaired to the rubbish that was going around at the time they were so much stronger...i have never herd of a frame being broken........
-
They look a bit flimsy to me.
:LolLolLolLol:

Hi there, sorry if this is the wrong place for this but I couldn't work out how to start a new thread.
I've got a zima frame and extended forks in good condition for sale. PM me with offers or find me on LFGSS. I think it's number 32 but can't remember and the paint covers the numbers a bit. Hopefully someone can find a good home for this, it's been unused for a long time.

To sell stuff on RADBMX you need to get yourself a site supporter tag, decide on the price you want ( not pm offers ) then list it in the 'for sale' section.
Thats the way it works on here :daumenhoch: just an advance warning before your post gets deleted :police:
