Interesting frame, not sure what I got

Bicycles Asked on April 29, 2021

I just bought this nifty looking bike, but alas I don’t know the manufacturer or model it is. There’s a logo with a silver looking "Z" and a made in Taiwan sticker. Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

P.S. There was also a sticker that said the bike was "Manufactured Exclusively for S.B.S. Inc., Seattle". Seattle Bike Supply closed about 5 years ago.

It looks a lot like this 1998 Zephyr Boardwalk 6

The Boardwalk also came in a single speed. Both bikes came in men's and ladies models.

Sorry about the bad picture, I looked for better ones.

The "Zephyr" brand was also used to on BMX bicycles.
On the linked BMX bike the logo is similar and there is a "MANUFACTURED EXCLUSIVELY FOR S.B.S INC. SEATTLE WA" sticker.

If the BMX Museum is accurate the BMX bikes were made between 1985 and 1999

Interestingly there is also a "Torker Boardwalk 6" cruiser which looks a lot like the Zephyr. It turns out that:

In 1984, the Torker Bicycle Company went bankrupt, and Seattle Bike Supply purchased the name.
