GT Zaskar LE (1992)

[Martin]

After lots of yes' and no's finally build it.....

Frameset is completely pollished, decals are still the original and look ok. the frame is pefect, no scratches, dents or other damages.

Build up with the Shimano XT 730-735 group, Cook Bros cranks, Chris King headset and lastbut definately not least a Rock Shox Mag21.

Only thing is the seatpost, I'm looking for a nice black one with setback (shimano XT 27.0 f.e.)

That's kin lovely that is

You don't ride it with the seat that high do you?

Shame it's 27.0 as I have a 27.2 black kore elite that would finish that off a t.

Thats when GT' were good

V-nice

 

[Martin]

thanks...

Yes I ride it with the seat that high, measured 85,5 cm center top seat....
Last year I've ridden a 18" Zaskar for a few months but sold that one, this is a 19"....

Indeed a Kore seatpost will also do good on this one...

85.5?? That's even more awesome than the bike.

As this is Retrobike, perhaps there should be a competition for the biggest difference between saddle height and handlebar height? This has to be one of the biggest I've ever seen.

Martin, that's really nice. I remember always droolin' over the 1992 catalogue's Zaskar LE pic. It was there with Mag 20 and full XTR M900...

And i have a 1992 GT catalogue

 

[Martin]

Isn't it that the 1992 Zaskar LE was a "frame only"?

Have to find the catalogue myself tonight.......

I made this build up with parts left from the Attitude and some I still had in stock somewhere.
I think it fits nice and simple. just ballburnished/black and the logo-red...

Soooo, you decided to build it up anyway... the right choice ;-)
