This frame was given to me by my brother (thanks bro!). Essentailly, its a swap over from my '95, as it was a 19 inch and slightly too small for me.

This is a really nice frame with a bit of patina, and original decals that are a sublime colour. It even still has the little warning sticker on it telling you to make sure you know how a quick release works.

It feels great to ride, stiff nimble and sprightly

Nice Zaskar!

Any particular reason, why you did not use the Sycros post on the first picture which is time correct? The one now used is 1997+.

If you ever decide to let that GT Saddle with those screws go, please PM me. That would be lovely for my 92 Psyclone or a 91 Cyclone of my mate.

Nice Zaskar!

thanks rahbari, i am quite happy with this one, it rides really well and looks good. i am leaving it not polished,i like the fact its got a bit of age and wear about it.

yeah, i have that earlier seatpost on my 1992 Zaskar currently, so the newer one is on this bike.

its a great saddle, (brand new) but again given to me by my brother, i need to keep it with me sorry. they are quite hard to come by
