1997 GT Zaskar modern makeover FINISHED FINALLY

Thanks for coming back to me ! Where can you get peek from as I have never heard of it ?

I think I need to buy rubber gloves and a tin of elbow grease !

I now have loads to do lol

Fleabay I got mine from. Think it's about £7 for a 250ml tin.

Not sure how much elbow grease costs. Depends on time of year, enthusiasm and country of origin :)
 
Hi.

I am really impressed! I don't like GT but Your looks great.

I've polished a few parts in my life and I know how laborious is it.

Only steer tube is a little too long for me and it make Zaskar like "city bike"

pozdrawiam

Special thanks to Gil for puting up with my fussy sticker choices.

Got them from Fleabay, some dude in Taiwan I believe. Sealed bearings etc. Excellent quality too, was quite impressed.
