ha ha, no, but you gave steve the size of post you normally ran, then the frame was built with it for you, super super overbuild, it was ideal for park/mini.

wow, not seen a Zima since 90s - cool pics.  That Park at Hull, did it have like a really springy jump box?  ;D sure I rode it one time and the box use to spring you up.

It was the best chrome job i've ever seen! Gave in to peer pressure because it was too shiny! Had some great times on that bike.  :'(

just had a flashback of a review of these frames in Ride or Dig or whatever in the mid 90s ( when I brought a Performer & was flirting with bmx again )

Anyone got that?
