Re:
The red was a decision based on 3
elements.
1. I had the parts. I have a set of xt brakes but not levers.
2. The cheap ebay decals have bits of red around the edge so thought that might flow nicely.
3. Red is faster.
But I agree, not sure it's quite the right look.

Re:
Cables and chain done. Quick fiddle in the stand and everything is spot on. Remarkable, gears spot on with no adjustment. Happy days. Brake pads just needed a bit of setting. Popped a nice set of DMR V12s in and some old lizard skins grips to finish the job.
So I drop it down for a test ride, and lo, gears not quite shifting into the bottom of the cassette or into the granny ring. Grrr, why does it do that? Stupid world not being perfect! Stupid having to twiddle barrel adjusters.
Anyway, the world is now a better place. The project was started in Spring 2016, I was gathering parts since Spring 2014, but the want has been there since the mid 90s.
Ladies and gentlemen, I give you my interpretation of the GT Zaskar:

Re:
It's taken a while but it's making me smile. Just playing out on the street with the boy trying to remember how to wheelie
it's great fun.
Rather obviously, it feels small. so I might play about with a longer stem and fiddle the saddle a bit see if that helps
