They were! Shimano DX. Backyard found a stash of them around 94 and we all bought a few pairs and promptly destroyed them! Didn't have a clue how much they'd eventually be worth just wanted decent pedals!

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?

i've got that somewhere,i'll have a look over the weekend.

it was in ride, cant remember the issue though, but it was

when ride was a full size mag, and you needed two hands to read it.

I think it was one with Ian Morris jumping in a check shirt on the front as I've still got a scan of that... and that was the only copy I had in the 90s!

Hi Guys,

Just wanted to add to this... I bought a Zima from Steve (too many years ago to remember). Mine was number 57, one of the first ones to have a sliding seat post. Perfect bike for me at the time. I still have it along with my first bike a Dyno Slammer and an old PK... Good memories....

Would love to know how many Zima's were built?

Cheers

got my ZIMA forks off the postman today! thanks RJH and Alex.
My frame is number 10 and the forks have AD mounts, which is nice!

Hey Steve give us the lowdown on your bikes!, would be great to hear your story...had no idea youd made a light version!!
