OK Finished it ! The 1st ever BMX that i had as a kid , my 1982/3 Marlboro Zapper ZRS Team edition. Factory spec & exactly as it came to me from the shop (Arnolds 2 wheelers in Loughborough) with black callipers & black top SR stem . it was never gonna be a show build or get re chromed but I love it & I'm glad i picked this over any burner or Puch that were on offer to me for the budget allowed. Even though they weighed a ton Marlboro did have a race team too BITD so here goes.

Spec:

Frame: Marlboro Reynolds 501
Forks:  Marlboro Reynolds 501
Bars:   SR PRO BARS
Grips: Fuan F-1
Levers: Shimano DX (Style) MX logo
Callipers: Dia compe MX1000
Seat: Generic Aero it's a viscount in the brochure but i never had one on mine when i got it
Seatpost clamp : (Generic Tuf Neck style replacement) My original clamp lasted about 6 months so i replaced it with one of these as the time so this one has one also!
Headset: (Original)
Crank: Generic
Spider & Chain ring : SR 44t
Pedals: SR Graphite SP-513
Wheels: Generic Alloy

Also as there was no information about on the brand i took the liberty to do some research & set up a Facebook page for the brand collation all of the images scans catalogues & information i could find on the brand all of that is here if you are interested: https://www.facebook.com/MarlboroZapperBMX

 (Big thanks to Del for utilising the artwork i sent to him in order to produce the decals as it's just completed the build in a way i never thought possible).
