Author Topic: Help identify frame and forks (Read 1815 times)

Hi, can anyone help identify this frame and forks. On the right rear drop out it has the number 33910 stamped. Also on each rear dropout are the letters L H and R H, obvs for left hand/right hand. As you can see from the pics it is a lugged frame the welds look a bit rough to me but the tubing seems in very good condition it almost looks like stainless steel. I can see no markings on the forks.
Any help would be much appreciated.

I'm no expert bit it looks like a Marlbro Zapper to me:

agreed

apparently the lugged versions are better than the welded versions?

Thanks for the replies lads. I actually realised it was a zapper late last night after seeing one on BMX museum. Although i couldn't identify the frame I took a punt on eBay because It had a nice SR crankest and headset and the frame looked old school. Have been wanting to build an old school racing BMX for many years-bitd I used to build them- but the prices have been crazy. Stripping the bike down took me right back to the eighties and I am glad am back into it.
