My 98 GT Zaskar build

And she's finally finished. She weighs 25lbs thinks shes maybe a wee bit too fat, or is that an ok weight??

Let me know what you think

Looks just how a zaskar should. 25 is probably upper end weight wise but yours looks like it will take as much abuse as you could throw at it.

Thanks Stu, I really wanted it around the 23 mark but hey I like the way it is so she's staying a fat girl! haha

You'd easily lose weight in the saddle I guess, and perhaps the wheels (dont know what they are). But 25lb isnt a bad weight with a bit of bounce. REckon mine weighs about the same.

Wheels are mavic 517 on xt parallax 737 hubs, was thinking about some RS sids?

517 should be fairly light. I'm putting D521's on mine! They are heavy!

Sids would be lighter no doubt, they dont really weigh much at all.

cool 521's you making it in to an all mountain ride? I'm skint at the min so wont be looking at sids for a while, wanna get my lobo built!

I've got Z2s en route, just trying to make it more practical. They are great frames.

trxrincon · Mar 6, 2012

cool, you'll have to get some pics up.

SID are a good ride no doubt but compared to your forks. SL by the looks of it they will be SO flexy. Not so good to use on a bike like that unless you way nothing.

Whole thing looks amazing though.
