1994 Zima

Wallop...too heavy to reach U.S shores.
Zima company of Steve Geall in the UK during the 90s, around 80 made???
I like my bike.

Re: 1994 Zima

Glad you like it.
Yes, you would choose the seat height before placing the order.  I think you could also have the peg bosses higher or lower on the forks, choose AD brake mounts/canti-style/caliper and have any colour paint/decals.
I'm told there are a handful still floating around.
The fork legs do have an air of Wilkerson about them...but if you look at the later 2hip Stout Boy, the seatstays are the same as the Zima yikes as are the fork legs where they join the steerer (my forks don't have this but check out the reviews)...coincidence or something fishy going on?
Be great to hear any info/comments big_smile

Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
