Hi There are Pics in the Archive & Gallery, under the label My Zinn Z Centaur.

Hi All Here is my Zinn Jersey, which I bought along with my Zinn Z Centaur in 1992, both of which I still own. Zinn bikes now seem pretty rare, so could this be one of the rarest MTB Jerseys, or does anyone else own one? Cheers

I have put some close up photos in my albumn of the original Campagnola cantilevers that came on my Zinn. The photos dont realy do them justice, they look sexier in real life. A solid piece of shiny aluminium.

My frame No is Z92339. So the month thing doesnt realy work with that frame no.

I have stuck some pictures on the My Zinn Z Centaur gallery of the shirt.

Yes it was always the ultimate dream bike.

I think the SRT500R was the second version of the Gripshift, if I remember correctly. It is so easy to use, none of this pushing with your thumb and pulling with your finger business.

Do you know if the serial number gives you the date in it

The trouble with the Campagnola stuff, as great as it is, it was never the easiest of stuff to get hold of locally, back then. Unless it was the Road Bike stuff. So when things needed changing, it was what was available to me. No internet back then to buy stuff from, just dodgy adds in the back...

Oh yes I also have the original Zinn Cycling Jersey in Red & White, which I bought when I got the bike. It still fits, but it is a little bit tighter than back then, luckily it is stretch material.

The cantilevers are the original. They were always amazing looking, and work brilliantly. The forks are just about to get some new Elastomers but other than that they are in perfect condition. It was the Icarus groupset, but I think it shared a lot of its bits with the Record OR, if I remember...

Hi Giom6 Thanks for the welcome. There are some pictures in the user gallery under My Zinn Z Centaur. I always new personally that my Zinn was a bit special, but its good to see that there are others out there who agree. I have never seen another Zinn in the flesh, so it is cool to see...

Yes, I still have one of the original Continental Baja tyres, which I have stuck on the front. I will look at the Edge. It's slowly coming back as to why I had such a narrow tyre on the back, the clearance. Good job you pointed that out or I would have wasted money on a wider tyre. Cheers

Hi all. I need to replace the old Panaracer Smokes that are pretty worn out on my Zinn. Any recomendations for a good all round off road tyre would be appreciated. Cheers
