Title: Zima - What size bottom bracket?
Post by: Sibomb on May 16, 2013, 11:12 AM: Need some advice, looking to buy a crank set for a Zima build, does anyone know what size bottom bracket I need, US, Mid, Euro, im working away and the frame is at home so cant measure anything

Thinking of going for a profile set, any recommendations? The profile SS looks cool but again the size is US so not sure that will fit -

Any help much appreciated

Post by: Sibomb on May 17, 2013, 09:35 AM: Il post the Serial Number when I get home

Always loved Zima's when I was riding, almost got all the part together to finish it

NOS Graveyard Spocket
NOS 6 Peice Standard Strip Bars
NOS Polished Redneck
Profile SS Crank
NOS Peregrine Supers (just bought these bad boys)
Primos, AD990S, Tech 77s, tenderizers..... etc

She's going to be heavy!!

Would love to see some other ZIMA's if people have pictures, only seems to be handful of pics on the net
