Imagine how gutted youd feel if you'd bought one then decided that the seat was too low/high!!!!

Yep Standard Hand Grenades, i think i had Basic silencers on the other side.

Geoff and Doug Cain both had Zima frames. I think Doug still has his purple one but I havent seen Geoffs one for a while. I might be going round there tonight so I will ask him.

I liked the "Z" where the chain stays crossed over behind the BB to give chainring clearance. Nice touch.


I think that soon, NS frames will have a stub seat tube that you just bolt the seat straight to, without needing a seat post. They might even use the pivitol system. But ... Im sure they will be a little lower than Zima frames ever were tho! ha ha.

What are the chances of this. I found a mag out to scan some pics of that Decay bike and found this. Steve is a top man but I havent seen him for ages.



(Its a nice big scan so do a "save as" and view it through something that you can Zoom in if you wanna read it)

good man ,i will go grab another choc ice and have a good read.

[SaMAlex]

There was a Zima test in a mag that had loads of really good pics of Geoff Cain. I dont think I can give him the props he will get if I scan them! 

Only Jokin, Im sure I will ... if I find it.

There is a member thats got one ( Ben Hur) but he lives most of his time in Thiland now

Here is the Zima test from Ride. Geoff Cain making the bike look light!

[YGT]

I wouldnt mind actually trying to ride one of those!
Geometry looks fun.

[SaMAlex]

Geoff gave his to a mate of his in San Fran. He still rides it (to get about on) all the time. I spoke to Doug Cain today, he still has his. There might be a chance to ride one yet YGT!

I think a company has already started doing that (can't remember which company it was - Sunday maybe?) with the pivotal mount welded onto the frame.  Dunno whether it was a production frame though or just a prototype for a team rider.  Sure it was in the last/current issue of Ride mag I looked at in WHS.

Check out factory GT Gossa on the cover of Ride (or is it Jim Dirt Duly?).

[kev-s]

trials bikes have seats which bolt to a small platform, so i can see this transferring to bmx soon

how heavy is the backend of a zima look at the pic of the frame on the ramp its sitting up with nothing propping the front end up
