This was my friends bike Dan Wright bike  he had it custom built for him in the 90s......no one had seen it for like 15 then it showed up in my friends shop Cooper Cycles  in portsmouth so i had to get it...looking to get this rechromed as it very dull in places and flaking off wich is a shame but will look great when finished......http://s1235.photobucket.com/albums/ff425/whatquid/Zima%20Frame%201994/

The more I look at that frame the more I like it, didn't really notice the seatpost bit, those forks are fooking lovely.

Can't believe the forks are in one piece still, the two people I know that had one, destroyed them

steerer tube and fork legs made out of different stuff apparently

Hi there, sorry if this is the wrong place for this but I couldn't work out how to start a new thread.

I've got a zima frame and extended forks in good condition for sale. PM me with offers or find me on LFGSS. I think it's number 32 but can't remember and the paint covers the numbers a bit. Hopefully someone can find a good home for this, it's been unused for a long time.

To sell stuff on RADBMX you need to get yourself a site supporter tag, decide on the price you want ( not pm offers ) then list it in the 'for sale' section.

Thats the way it works on here  :daumenhoch: just an advance warning before your post gets deleted  :police:
