Bride Zeta 3, Sport, Black FRP (Black shell)

I'm interested in buying this seat, but it has a me worried a bit. I've never heard of a replica Zeta 3 seat, but it may be a new thing. If it had a sparkle back I would feel better. I heard that vios 3 sport editions had a black frp shell so maybe that's the same for a Zeta 3?

I would post in the chat section, but I thought I would try here.

Posting pics to photobucket and then linking them here.

yea i would go that route. This is the smaller of the Zeta III seats and most likely 30-32 waist max! tight fit!!

It's so expensive to order new at retail. R.I.P. Cons of being a bride fanboy

Looks fake to me. It's missing the suede part on the shoulders.

Zeta III 'Sport-C' was the only Zeta III to have a black back. These don't have the suede insert on the shoulders.

Kinda hard to say based on those pictures. Usually a dead giveaway of fakes is their poor quality fabric that starts to droop and sag after not that long.

It does have the right spring for it to be authentic. If the price is too good to be true, it's probably fake.

It looks like a fake to me. Ask him for more pictures if you want piece of mind. As it is, it seems like you REALLY want to purchase this...

i really don't think this one is fake the lettering is fine as you mentioned the spring is authentic deal breaker would be the bride logo on the clips!

another Sport C

isn't the Zeta an FIA approved seat? If so this should have an FIA sticker

NO, The sport c is a non fia seat that bride seat made for the budget racers, the fia seat they offer is the sparkle back and the carbon/Kevlar molds
