ZIPP 2001 Dutch national squad

[Stempie]

Just started a new project, my most extreme yet. It is a ZIPP (2001, right?) carbon team issue frame from the Dutch national squad.

It appears be in great condition. I didn't get the Zipp rear brake with the frame, but I suppose I can use something similar. The beam appears to be missing a bolt to fix it from the top, but again this shouldn't be to difficult to solve.

What exactly is the difference between the 2001 and the 3001? I have looked all over, but I can't seem to find anything on the subject.

The 3001 had stiffer carbon weave/strips I believe in the years 97/98. If your frame is of that year then you have the 3001

The catalogs are on here if you click http://www.zipp.com/about/history.php click on years 93,94 & 96,97

Got in touch with an expert yesterday and mine is a 2001.

yeah i remember those from the tri scene in the 90/s, that seat beam idea got copied using steel pivoted at the front and suspensioned midway. then i believe that became a popular m/bike concept .it kind of reminds me of the lotus [boardman 1 hour record] an inky blot blade. if you made a similar thing
in ply i guess the veneers would look good.what a des ja vous [yesterday all my troubles seemed so far away] :xmas-wink:

I have been quite busy lately, so I haven't been able to give the frame the attention it deserves. I did however manage to take some shots of the frame with different rear wheels (Silva, Juna Moscow and Mavic 3G). Judging by the pictures I think a disc wheel would look best on the frame.

a Zipp Disc 900 & a zipp 808 front would suit this nice machine
