I've got machined dropouts on my April '94 Zaskar.

For the 1995 model year then, look at how many 2016 bikes are already available and already manufactured.

As I've said, back then I think GT change their model year in September, so 0994 or later would be a 95 model.

It is 0693 - could a 93 frame come out of the factory with 94 decals?


As discussed on previous threads they probably stockpiled some at the start of the model year before sending out to the shops. My 94 model year frame has serial no. 0893...

I have an identical month and year Zaskar to you with the same decals, I believe the decals are Tech shop ones. I am wanting to stick 93 ones on it as there are differences to the actual later 93 built for 94 frames compared to these - mainly the rear dropouts are machined out for weight saving.


I think I might do the same, for the same reason of different dropouts on the 94's, plus I think I like the 93 font better :lol:

...but maybe stick with the rock shox instead of a rigid fork.
