April 1993 Zaskar LE - bit of an update

legrandefromage

Keep it simple stupid:

A recent aquirement from Russell was some rather nice Reynolds straight blade forks ala P2 style but, in my own opinion, slightly more handsome.

They were meant for the Karakoram but worked better with the Zaskar - I re-used the cromo stem from Russell too.

I found a complete XT headset to finish the XT build.

Have you put a 105 jockey cage on an XT rear mech to make up a short-cage???? Cool, didn't know that would work Very Happy

i like it as it is but if it were mine (was mine??)the stem and chainrings would be for the firing line

i actually think it's just about perfect, the frame is more than enough bling for one bike, and that thing just says 'take me out and thrash me'. Love those forks too - def. nicer than P2s.

Agree with the above ^^^
black forks, stem, rings and seatpost add visual balance while letting the frame shine.

If you really must add bling then maybe just blue ano QR, jockey wheels & a Ringle H20 (but might be a step too far)
