Bike Rack didn't become involved until after the brand was shortened to Zebra, Zebrakenko was originally imported to the USA in the mid-1970s by Sumitomo Shoji. The last importer under the Zebrakenko name, in 1984, was O.M. International.

There were some decent, mid-range models in the late 1980s, when they had some celebrity endorsements. Jeannie Longo promoted a series under her name and I remember an ad with Ivan Lendl on a TT bike.
