finally got to finish my zima this morning

spec as follows

zima frame & fork, original owner was a southsea local and the frame and fork have been in the area in a shed for the last 15 odd years before resurfacing in a local bmx shop last year

peregrine super pro wheels (thanks to olly (mdbh) for spying the rear hub on ebay and alex for supplying the front hub)
primo v monster tyres
standard ribco pegs x4
gt/profile cranks
gt dx pedals
gt power series chainring
s&m slam bars
dk stem
odyssey gyro with fishbone 2 into 1 cables
odi longneck grips
tech77 levers
ad990 brake
10mm acs boa front brake
kmc z chain
gt padded dropnose seat

as you can see in the photos the chrome on the frame has suffered over years so ive built it as a survivor build and used well used parts to try and make it look like thats how its been for years

Love these. Can't think of the chap at mk who had a sweet one. And I just love those forks. Just like the wal ones

skidmark · « **Reply #7 on:** October 06, 2012, 03:08 PM »

That chap was I(hope it was anyway or I'll look a tit)
Nice build Kev, I do think the decals really set these off though.
I thought of getting some made but ended up doin my own, not difficult.
I've got my sketches about, I'll send you them when I get in.

Looks cool

who'd win in a fight do you reckon between your Zima and My old/Webbies Cromo 2hip pork?

It'd be close, I'll have a pound each way on the pork though!

cheers guys

rear hub was down to olly spotting it on ebay built into a araya super 7x rim for £55 posted

i needed the rear hub for this build and i needed 1 super 7x rim to make a pair for a future project so was perfect
