Title: Action Zone bars
Post by: muttley on February 26, 2017, 01:52 PM: Afternoon gents. Looking for some help here. Anyone in possession of some AZ bars that can provide me with the specs? Even better if you want to sell them but widths, angles etc would be great.
Gracias ;)

Not sure if Brett ( Brettypeeps ) has a pair?

They are uber rare mate :daumenhoch:

Yeah, I was about to say Kappy had at least 3 or 4 pairs of them at one point - they were his favourite bars I recall. No idea if he has anything o/s BMX left now as he'd got back into his off-road racing last time I saw him ???

Ah there you are! I was gonna message you and ask you opinion on the best way of cleaning some items...I have a GT Pro frame in chrome to get auction ready and some 400 Flights, Z-Rims, Elina seat, an MX1000 etc. Saw someones build on here the other day where they brought a seat back to new with wet n dry, amazing!

Post by: Johnnyroast on June 22, 2017, 08:24 AM: I did think that, then when I see the amount of hours people have put in I definitely thought that! Just a clean up is where I'm going.

In other news here's my Action Zone wardrobe, the pink one is a sweat and still fits!
