very early & original Zaskar

Look at the state of the welding on that head tube gusset... Did GT employ yokels to weld these early Zaskars? My 92 one looks aerospace quality by comparison!
 
Well, yes, they did employ 'yokels' to weld - just maybe they didnt have the pulse weld equipment that would have been used in Taiwan.

Its the art of weld penetration that you have to worry about, not the irrelevant cosmetics, the mechanics and physics of joining materials

LGF, You miss my point (or I am incorrect) I thought all 6061 Zaskars were welded in the states. My point was they quickly got better, the fish scale welding on my '92 is exquisite! Yes penetration is important (isn't it always) but looks should come into it as well (always!)
