There has been about 3 of them sat under my nose for years and years till about 2 years ago. Now their aint one!

I'll get Geoff Cain to check those two out, it will give him some kind of nasty WAL flashback, Im sure.

i was at a backyard jam and everyone was jumping the step up  at mini ramp
a big rut started and a dude on a wilko set up came to a sharp stand still due to his wilko forks.
very funny.

Rory, I think that was Steve Geal, on his Zimma. They also had the silly low forks and low pegs so they looked much the same. I was only talking about that the other day.

I know that Doug has still got a Zima frame but I think he has got forks. I dont think Geoff has a Zima any more. I will ask if either of them are interested in forks tho.

I got 15 stitches in my knee thanks to those forks!  >:( Misjudged my pegs position on my first ride on my Zima.

The thing was, those pegs were several inches lower than the axle, and the frame and forks were very very heavy, but it never stopped Steve from doing toothpick grinds (bonks) on really really high stuff. I guess he WAS the bunny hop champ for a few years running.

Geoff was (is) the man, for sure. The first time I rode with him I met him at Southsea. He totally blew my mind riding, unreal. It was dark, sligtly wet, and only about 4 of us there and he was going off. Infact, I dont think I ever saw him ride like that again!
