thanks guys

Going to make a few minor tweeks to it, I have some NOS Himiko's Rims laced to P.E Hubs to go on and am going to switch the bars for a set of NOS Love Bars, they rise slightly higher so should make for a more comfortable ride

If anyone else needs Decals for there Zima I had them reproduced from the originals and can get any colour printed, let me know

Coolio - just wondered if you had a lhd pair (as they're Leechy designed).

Was the Zima yours from bitd?  Final question (promise) - whats the frame number?  :daumenhoch:
Title: Re: Zima - Just Finished
Post by: Sibomb on July 26, 2013, 02:50 PM
haha, no worries, love talking bikes!!

Frame Number 29, not sure if there are any Zima experts out there, im guessing its a 1994, it has the "z" on the top of the forks which I noticed some don't have

not sure how long production ran for, with circa 80 frames Im guessing not long

That said, where have they all gone???? I know of only about 4/5 others from members on here, if you've got one, id love to see it

just looked again in more depth and I really like this bike.

Was a bit sad that I had sold mine but it would have had to be rechromed to be as sweet as this ... I love all the silver parts and absence of colour in all but the decals.

I'd give it  :4_17_5:

Thanks man....I think I saw pictures of the frame and fork you had, did you get to ride it as a complete bike?

Zima's are everything I love about the mid era.....when All the bikes were overbuilt, heavy,  fully loaded, chrome anywhere it will stick

I debated going with all silver/orange when getting the parts together but it came out better than I thought

Out of interest how heavy is it?

I have a pair of Zima forks that were made for me without the extended legs - a possible one off ??

They have the little Z stamped on the tops of the legs and would have been made around early 96 but that is a guess -
