Hi,

This is my 1986 Zeronine Pro XL build. It was a long build taking near on 18 months to complete with all the correct parts. The clothing was the hardest parts to collect. I don't do many builds as i'm prepared to be patient with my parts selection. I've used as many rare parts here as possible.

It's a 1986 Zeronine pro XL frameset

Powerlite Pro bars
Ame bubble font grips
Dia Compe Tech 3
Dia Compe MX 1000
Dia Compe 1986 stamped rear cable
NOS Zeronine ribbed pads
Tuf neck stem
DK headlock
Redline 401 cranks
TTK pedals
Ambrosio rims
Arai 8000 chair hubs
NOS Tioga comp 8 tyres
Donut seat clamp
Renthal straight seatpost
Shotgun 2 saddle
Zeronine moto control plate
Mirage power disc
Sugino machined chainring 44T
Suntour freewheel 16T

Now the clothing, some of you would have seen it previously but here it is again for those that haven't seen it. I don't have any pictures of it on a home made mannequin sadly as i didn't take any photos at MK.

I currently have 2 original raceshirts in black 1X S and 1 X L and Steve Firebird also done me a home made one to wear around town.

Thanks for looking, all comments taken onboard, positive or negative.

Propper bike that And, remember seeing pics of this what seems like a year ago and it looked stunning then but now it's amazing. Well worth all the hastle and time taken to get this finished pal, and IMO it's better to be a slow builder than knock a build out every month. Really well done pal

My fave bike for a long long time... absolutely stunning in every way.

I wish I'd taken more pics of it at MK12... perhaps stood her on the track and got some nice arty pics.

I said it on the museum and I will say it again here. Pics don't do this bike justice. Hands down the best build I have seen in a very, very long time, if not ever.

Yay

Perhaps it needed to have some sun tan lotion rubbed in to it Mary for you to enjoy it.

Cheers for the positive comments chaps

Reading them makes it all worth while.

Again a pretty budget build, other than the frameset and cranks, nothing cost over £50 which were the pads, the rest of the stuff was under £40.

One build left in me i think although i do have 2 framesets here, i have another Rickman that i may do in to a rider and then i'll sell the freeagent.

I'll start on the Profile Champ Pro when i can be sort of bothered....... No rush like Joff said although i do have 95% of the parts, i think the only thing i'm missing is a set of early 80's black grips. ( Oakley

?)

Andy, your decals are '87, your frame may be '86. Have a look inside the seatstays and chainstays top and bottom., if there are little holes inside then you have an EARLY '87 Taiwanese made frame, the later Taiwanese ones had a gussett at the headtube/downtube.

Mine pictured here is also a Taiwanese made 87 but has the original 86 decals on (that I had to have painstaking made) as the lack of gussett means it could pass for an 86.

The only true Cyclecraft made 86 bike I know still around is Pete Middletoms old white one, that's what i borrowed to get the stickers copied. That is my actual plate from 86 and pretty much the spec I had give or take.

And a pic of my actual bike from 86 with CW bars. I hope you don't mind me adding my pics to your topic!

And I still have all my factory rider kit too.....
