96 Zaskar LE & 94 Zaskar LE

Just picked this little fella up this afternoon from a friend who built it around 96 ish and has literally just ridden it on the road to work and back every day since. Only the cables have been changed in this time. The chain is like a piece of wool, no rigidity to it whatsoever so looks like a lot of the parts will need to go in the bin. There are some nice parts on it but all need a good looking over.

Magura brakes
Flite saddle
Judy DH Forks
Cooks Bros Cranks
Chris King Headset
Ringle Zooka Stem
Eastern post and bars
SRAM gripshift and mechs
White industries hubs on mavic 217 rims
Ringle twister skewers

The plan is to strip the frame back, polish up and see what bits I want to put back on then sell the bits I don't need.

Long project ahead but it's nice to see an original even if it is in a bad way.

Looks like there's a nice bike hiding under there.

Re: Gt Zaskar Le

Oh, ya. Bring out the Autosol!

Re: Gt Zaskar Le

I think we must have hit a record this month for the number of simultaneous Zaskar builds on the go at once!

That's not a bad thing

Re: Gt Zaskar Le

The decals are in surprisingly good condition.
