The Zinn/ Lew bike has reached another level in its return to the road. through some research and a brief conversation with lennard Zinn the bike has been confirmed as a collaboration of lennard Zinn and Paul Lew. The carbon fabrication was the work of master carbon engineer lew while the rest of the bike gets credited to Zinn. The fork which has been baffling me, has also be confirmed as a replacement fork. Turns out this bike frame was originally designed for Lew's Black Hole project, and integrated front end.
As you can see the idea behind this bikes design was all about reducing leading drag forces. For now I am going to continue too restore the bike with the dual Disc set-up and parts circa 1994-1995, the approximate original build date of the frame.
