Hello and a happy Xmas to all!
Im finally getting around to sorting our a few bits up at the (parents) garage, continually promising that "yes, i'll sell it all at the next jumble!" and "No, of course Im not buying any more bits". In the process if lying through my teeth I've had a day off work and made a start on my GT build.
I had my first proper mtb in 1994, starting with a second hand Marin Palisades Trail and had my first Zaskar in 96' which was a LE frame that I picked up from Andy Kyffin at NWMTB. As such a 92' machine is a bit before my time but hey there are no rules on that are there!
I picked up the frame on ebay a while back and had the NOS stock forks from a jumble. There are one or two more mis-matches in terms of period that the purists might disaprove of but Im gonna do my best with what I have. The proposed build will be something like this;
Frame: 1992 GT Zaskar (I'll post the serial number and maybe one of you guys could check this - as informed by GM it's later than I thought but with the 91' style decals, plan to change!)
