Hi ya fellas, well - after watching these pretty much all day i managed to fly a last minute bid in to secure these for.......................wait for it........................................Â£36 delivered.

Still can't quite believe it to be honest as these seem quite rare (missed some last week).

Just need to keep on buying the bargains and i'll be riding with you dudes a.s.a.p.

Let me know what ya all think.

I know, im still quite shocked.

It should make my ride slightly different to the Tuff II posse. (Not that there's anything wrong with Tuff's, i love em)

i had a look at those myself.......but as they were going for so little i guessed there was somthing wrong with em that i couldn't see.

good bargain mate...what are they going onto? and make sure you post some piccies!

I cant even remember them what bike did they come and in what era,were they on par with Tuff`s,

mightynimrod · « **Reply #5 on:** September 26, 2006, 03:55 PM »

Neither can i to be honest, wonder if anyone can help???

I'll be getting rid of those tyres and sticking some Panaracers on them.

TBH if the mags are as good as the Z-Rims then i'll be happy, but even so, for 36 brick im not going to complain

I am the hunter of bargains.

Other choice purchase i got was a set of Dia-Compe MX900's in black (calipers, cables and tech 4 levers) for £42 delivered.

Im still thinking a white Haro (master or Sport) to stick this lot on but im not 100%

I might give it a trial on an Aero then ive not spent an absolute fortune if i wreck it all.

Not sure, ive only ever seen them in black too.

pickle · « **Reply #8 on:** September 26, 2006, 04:42 PM »

I might be wrong (and i'm sure someone will correct me) but Z Mags only ever came in black and were made from around 85/86 ish? They still actually make them i think??

As far as quality? i think they're as good as tuffs but just a little bit more flexy........on par with the Aero Zytecs i think?

Come on then......someone correct me

Never had Aero Zytecs ! Are they any good too ?? Sealed hubs aren't they ??

$:-\$

pickle · « **Reply #10 on:** September 26, 2006, 04:49 PM »

Yes they are sort of sealed...I have a pair on my street beat (see piccie) and they're fine, i little flexy but then i am 16 stone!

ACS Z Mags also came in White and Blue but you don't see them very often in those colours.

I bet they would, im surprised these got missed, there was only 1 bid prior to mine.

Anyone got a freestyling frame\fork set for under £50

to go with them?

pickle · « **Reply #14 on:** September 26, 2006, 05:09 PM »

Go for the Aero Reflex mate........they're a quality frame set for stupid money!

Just buy a brand new Aero Reflex

phantom photon · « **Reply #16 on:** September 26, 2006, 05:10 PM »

Doh, beaten to it

pickle · « **Reply #17 on:** September 26, 2006, 05:11 PM »

Gotta have fast fingers in this game!

I wanna see those fingers

mightynimrod · « **Reply #18 on:** September 26, 2006, 05:11 PM »

I think i might do to start off, i just can't get the image of a White Haro out of my swede though.
Yours does look sweet though pickle.

pickle · « **Reply #19 on:** September 26, 2006, 05:13 PM »

If that's what you want mate....then the best thing is to save and get what you really want.......if you want something cheap to ride on for now, then you can't beat £30 for a NOS complete frame and forks with the Reflex

I know your right......the best thing i reckon is to buy something cheap that won't make me cry if i wreck it.
