Post by: That Swan Guy on March 10, 2013, 11:26 PM

I've been after one of these for some time now :smitten:

My rider is a white ZX-3 which has a very similar frame but doesn't have the coveted PPP### serial number.

But finally here is my Pistol Pete #800

What the ZX-3?
It appears to be, standing them next to each other there isn't a lot of difference.
This PP is 1/2" longer in the top tube than my ZX-3.

Thanks for the feedback guys
I love this bike

No it isn't the original paint but I don't care :LolLolLolLol:
the later PPs did come with this style of decal and some were painted a burnt orange kind of colour.

Hopefully, it should be at Chester :daumenhoch: :Great_Britain:
