Very Nice. You don't need to do much to that bike. It really comes downto your budget and inclination.

I agree,bit of a clean n polish lower the stem and that's it!
Looks in good condition theres still another 20 odd yrs in the old girl yet!

nice!

x2 dump the stem. you'll be right.

always pleasing to see zaskars in as original condition and spec as yours!

nice.

My favourite decal set..

Only thing I'd change, personaly, is the tyres. A nice set of smoke/dart or Ritchey Zmax Amberwalls.

Other than that it's perfectly well balanced as it is.

Agree on the tyres, for some reason I saw those and thought surly pugsley :?

That was the idea kinda. Same for the stem. Shake the bones a bit less

That stem's the original GT tho isn't it?

maybe hunt out some threaded sus forks, like RockShox MAG21's (and keep the stem) to soften the blows of the rigid front end a bit?

No point in lowering the stem apart from for looks. At the end of the day comfy and ridable are better than pretty.

Yeah. been looking at forks on ebay. Still getting a feel for it.

Did they come with a lockout?
