Hi Guys, trying to knock together a ride for the track this summer. Have been offered a NOS Scorpion f+f. Have not seen picture yet and wandered if anybody knows if they are any good or not. I think the guy selling it said they were made by Tange, but not 100% sure..

Cheers

they are a decent frame set, bald bmxer has a few NOS ones.

They look just like Tange built frames

How much you got a chance at it for?

some scorpions were good well thought out and constructed frames

some, however were not.

the mild steel breakdancers were pretty shitty. however a nos one would be interesting!

Hi There, as people have said some Scorpions where good, some not so Good. Heres a pic of my NOS ZX300. bought the F&F from Baldbmxer last year at Bourenmouth and have recently built it up. I used to have a ZX200 until 1994 when some scum bag knicked it!!

The ZX series where Mid 80's and where made in Taiwan. But still reasonable quality.

I also have the spec sheet and pics of the ZX series BMX which I can e-mail if interested.
