wow! sweet bike, I remember a friend had one of those, was there really any need for the seatpost section to be so super massive? haha
-
hull. rockcity. i can remember lol
I used to ride there everytime I popped back oop to Bev to see me mum :)
-
ha ha, no, but you gave steve the size of post you normally ran, then the frame was built with it for you, super super overbuild, it was ideal for park/mini.
-
been trying to think what stem it was.

They were! Shimano DX. Backyard found a stash of them around 94 and we all bought a few pairs and promptly destroyed them! Didn't have a clue how much they'd eventually be worth just wanted decent pedals! :crazy2:

Hi Guys,
Just wanted to add to this... I bought a Zima from Steve (too many years ago to remember). Mine was number 57, one of the first ones to have a sliding seat post. Perfect bike for me at the time. I still have it along with my first bike a Dyno Slammer and an old PK... Good memories....
Would love to know how many Zima's were built?
Cheers
-
^"^ got my ZIMA forks off the postman today! thanks RJH and Alex.
My frame is number 10 and the forks have AD mounts, which is nice!
Hey Steve give us the lowdown on your bikes!, would be great to hear your story...had no idea youd made a light version!!
-
glad forks arrived mate, all good
-
:) Sort of off-topic but anyone here own one of the G-Bikes frames? Circa 04 I think.. :daumenhoch:
-
04?
you sure, i thought well before that.
-
my zima is chrome no 46.....just started to restore it sorry kev...haha :)
