Yesterday,I layed eyes on one of the nicest original tri-zingers I have ever seen.It was red/yellow and had original tires w/ 95% of the tread.It could pass for a 2005 machine.GMAN-1 got it form a friend to work on and I was the 1st person he called.This thing sat in a garage attic since the late 80's(kid rode it and got scared so into storage it went).A young girl rides it(5-8 yrs?). It needed brake shoes and an air filter and an overall cleaning.I donated a good used set of brake shoes from my blaster parts pile.We also couldnt get a new airfilter ASAP so I cut/shaped some foam and wrapped/zip tied around the cage.It fit like a glove.Gman and myself took it for a spin after we got it together.I fell in love instantly. I made a very reasonable offer to buy it, but the guy wants it for his daughter,then it will get passed on down the family.I was very distraught after that.I was hoping to rescue it before the kiddies beat it into the ground.On the other hand,I'm glad some younger kids will get to enjoy a mint 3 wheeler.I think GMAN took some pics of it, I/He will post them up later.

Thats the same color scheme as TimJr's. Those kids will love it. I think the Zinger makes a better beginner trike than the ATC70, and its more stable. Get used to changing brakes on it though!

To rebuild my zinger top-end, I paid $24 for the piston, $9 for the rings, $6 or $7 for gaskets, and $60 to bore the cylinder.
