I wanted to ... I tried them ... they didn't work. It just looked too 'late 80s' ...

I'm got a pair of original V Monsters on there at the mo but a pair of 2.1 Comp STs would be what I need

That's a shame, always liked the look of those tyres on mid stuff. They available then?

they just didn't look right on a dirty English prototype

fugazi · « **Reply #87 on:** April 06, 2016, 01:24 PM »

That looks real good

Needs all black tyres on it though I reckon

The ones I had weren't ... so I tried them and I prefered something else

(In an inner, yet faraway floaty voice) Ed, this is your conscience speaking, do not stray from the path you are on, do not put knobblies & race parts on that Zimaaaaaaaaa.

Ed, it's your conscience again, stop messing around with that old lump of metal and send the frame to Shane, you have his address, do it, doooo iiiiit......

Its been a total bitch but I finally made some headway on this in the last 24 hours ...

Bought a TNT freestyle stem ... it doesn't fit the Zima forks I had

Bought some new Zima forks .. ultra HTF short legged ones from Sen ... the TNT won't fit them. They have been cut so the gyro won't fit.

The PE Hubs are too wide at the front to fit in either set of Zima forks.

Tried to get a decal set to match the brazing ... no gold matched. No spray I could find to spray my own colour matched. Thanks to Sen again for finally finding me one.

I've had the angle grinder going for hours LOL had to grid the stem shaft down 4 times before it fitted... finally got it on and I hadn't put the gyro on ... nearly got a hearnia pulling it off.

Ground the hubs down so they fitted as well.

Got some 90s 1.95 V Monsters or 2.0 ACS True 100s ( coming from the states )... both black and tan ... see which works best.

Its finally coming together
