Where Have All The Px Zebdi's Gone?

Recommended Posts

I loved my P-X, mainly because I had it in the long hot summer between lower and upper sixth form (I think) and I would ride most days with all the old cool kids. Also, my Zebdi was the coolest bike ever!

But I reckon a lot of this is seen with slightly rose-tinted glasses - My mate's got a Zebdi (proper pimp spec too, Chris King, Middleburns, Monty bar n Stem etc) and I really don't get on with it. It feels like a much more sluggish version of my 24 - Kinda similar geometry but everything seems much harder.

back in the days of the echo EasySnap series.. and crescents, light, strong, dialled geo and sexy. ;)

And Orange Zeroes, and DMR sidekicks and Pashleys. None of them were particularly strong, but then people didn't really know what a tap or a hook was either! Big drops were cool though B)

Mine was the blue evil eye one, possibly the nicest paint job ever on any bike out of a factory (homemade ones don't count :D). And yeah, whenever I think of my Zebdi, it had a Panaracer on, usually a Megablaster. I'd love to have it back just the way it was, for one ride only.
