Si-man Posted June 2, 2007 Report Share Posted June 2, 2007 There used to be about 8 in blackpool i think at one time haha!Then everyone started to kill them one after the other and people got bored/ bought new frames. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plainlazy84 Posted June 2, 2007 Report Share Posted June 2, 2007 Here's mine. Still going strong 4 years on- which shows how much I have ridden in the last few years When I bought it was hard to imagine the day when owning a Zebdi would actually be rare! Another sign how much Trials has developed in a short space of time. One of the last frames when a 26" Trials bike had similarities to a mountain bike.

Danny Posted June 3, 2007 Report Share Posted June 3, 2007 I remember when the zebdi was considered one of the strongest frames on the market Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted June 4, 2007 Report Share Posted June 4, 2007 I remember when the zebdi was considered one of the strongest frames on the market How weak were the rest of the frames back in the olden days? I would have been about 10 when these things were popular. I rode one, I hated it because the brakes were all squeaky and I couldn't sit down and pedal beause the seat was too low.Then I bought a T-Pro six years later. And cracked it a month later. And bought a Zona Zip two months later. And cracked it three months later, (well it is only at the bash mount and it isn't spreading, but my first two bikes havn't had much luck really).

christian@simtrabikes.com Posted June 4, 2007 Report Share Posted June 4, 2007 I guess alot of people started trials on the Zebdi. I guess having it back, would be a different story as trial geo changed so much it would now be obsolete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janson Posted June 4, 2007 Report Share Posted June 4, 2007 i still fancy buying my mate's zebber. it's a mk4, and it's not ridden hard at all. just needs a new hanger... if my coust snaps, maybe........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinJI Posted June 4, 2007 Report Share Posted June 4, 2007 The other word for out-dated geometry is 'streety' Which is why if I went to a 26" they would definitely be a frame I'd consider. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
