Zaskar Number 4 - FINISHED! page 4 - arghhh not finished!!!

Nice one Steve. Looks great. Where did you find the anodized brake cable hangers? Looking for red ones myself.

very very nice, steve! i think i should known these cranks, shouldnt I?

The combination of the anodized parts mixed up with the butterscotch Michelins gave it such a 'bright' appearance!
Very, very nice Steve!

Thanks Michael,

Yes these are the cranks I had off of you like a year or more ago... They're rather nice and svelte..

Thanks fella,

I know not many people like the coloured tyres but they do make all the purple stand out. And I tried the tie them in to colour of the decals..

Pm'd

Very nice indeed, svelte & fresh.

Thanks fella..

Today, I spent a bit of time fettling with the Zaskar...

Cut the fork steerer, and added some shims, for a better fit and look





Set the brakes up for better stopping power




Added a shim for the seat-post (in ano blue to tie-in with the granny bolts and 'Ringle lettering on the stem)




And gave it a bloody good polish..









Now a few people have asked about the SpeedTec cranks, but I know nothing of them. An identical set came up for sale on ebay in Germany recently, and I bought mine from Michael, in Germany, but that's the extent of my knowledge on them, so here's a couple of closer pics instead...





Still no sign of the bloody chain, I'm so itching to go for a spin on this, it's unreal.. :twisted:

Have to say this again, in the category 'non-catalog specials', this is a winner! Stunning bike!!
