Bought this a while ago..

..British made Marlboro Zapper, I swapped my DB Pro Star for 1 of these when I was a kid. Frame had the seat post stuck and needed plenty of preparation ready for painting. I restored the Z rims as they were battered when I got them, its got the same parts that I can remember that I had. Ive done this as a custom job as the original finish and decals are shite

I wont tell you who did the decals as you lot will start pestering him, he knows who he is...much appreciated bumder

This will probably be the last bike I build..here it is.. my custom built Marlboro Zapper..

Very low end bike, but I loved mine as a kid, and ive loved restoring this, that's all that matters..nice1 Gaz

(I think I managed to polish a turd

)

Nice resto Gaz

As Joff says, it's always a bit special when replicating a ride from BITD

Awsome, looks well racey.

The Geometry of that frame especially in the last picture makes it look the perfect rider.

Fookin low end

This is how it should be building a bike we all could afford bitd. Few of us could afford top end gear then, it's great to ssee a build like this...........
Top job fella

You can't whack some custom griffics too
