Marlboro Zapper...finished
« on: November 02, 2013, 05:17 PM »
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 ;D
I wont tell you who did the decals as you lot will start pestering him, he knows who he is...much appreciated bumder :bellend:

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 :pilky:

(I think I managed to polish a turd :D)

Awsome, looks well racey.

The Geometry of that frame especially in the last picture makes it look the perfect rider.
One build a year, the only way to get it right. No rushing involved.

Fookin low end  "nono"
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  :slayer:
