    what bars and saddle for a 1991 Zaskar?

    Interesting - was 91 a year when it was a frame only? https://www.retrobike.co.uk/gallery2/v/Manufacturer+Archive/GT/Catalogues/GT1991_USA.pdf.html Perhaps anything will do?! The flippy-flop stem could be fairly easy to find in black I suppose.

    what bars and saddle for a 1991 Zaskar?

    There must be GT catalogues online - especially on this most sacred of retro bicycle sites? Give me 30 seconds....or not!

    Cool! Every time you cock you leg over you'll be taken to Ecstacy!

    Orbit Cambridge

    Nice work! I hope the frame's not crushed from the stand and that tape on the LHS chainstay isn't hiding anything untoward. I said to them I'd need to see both off before buying. Hope it turns out nice. With the XT parts it's a really nice place to start.

    Orbit Cambridge

    Well, it's been 'taken'. I ummed and arred since it appeared here! I'm only 5 miles away, I didn't need it, it's my size, I do have some 1" P2s that could have gone on it, pm'd the seller this morning mere minutes before winjohn's post, they've just replied with it's taken. Hopefully someone...

    It looks part lugged part fillet brazed. My size. I need another bike like I need a second ringpiece.

    The Impossible Hybrid

    Raleigh Geminis turn up with some frequency. Love them/ wife has one/ wouldn't mind a large one myself to replace my Bob Jackson that snapped its seat-tube towards the BB yesterday morning sob sob! A metallic twang and it was toast. I blame my thighs as we were pulling-away from a train...

    "Redemption Build" Orange P7

    I'd stop you on the street, gawp and natter if you were coming the other way! Really nice. Now put the QR levers on the right side 😁🙃

    631 Dawes Edge

    The seller has only sold bikes recently - perhaps it's decent after all? Oh crud, front skewer lever on the RHS. No, just no

    631 Dawes Edge

    Fully welded-in and highly scratched if you can get it out! Nice spot though :)

    631 Dawes Edge

    Fu%k me the AI listings are getting $hitter by the day. "this mountain bike offers smooth gear changes and reliable braking, making it perfect for experienced cyclists and newcomers alike". Maybe, but has the seller fettled both gear change and braking? AI doesn't know. The seller might not...

    Bargain 93 Clockwork Sheffield

    Bargain if you want one just like that. I had one in that colourway - snapped at the rear dropout where it meets the chainstay sob sob. What forks are they though? A bit of Pace. A bit of Manitou? I dunno!

    Ridiculously expensive RTS …..£3300 😂

    Orange Aluminium O

    That looks in really nice condition. Sweet! #Shoot me down, I dislike those Schwalbe tyres with a small amount of passion. Billy Bonkers and similar irk me something rotten. Better than nothing though of course. I have had one STX rear mech - the pivots were shonky quality. Just a bit...

    Retro bikes we've spotted

    Very interestingly it had what appeared to be an Ahead stem with remnants of an Ibis logo on top. I was confused - for a late 80's bike?! Mombat says this: The Avion was the imported from Japan for Ibis and was the more "entry level" model. This is a NOS frame with a mostly NOS Shimano Deore...

    Retro bikes we've spotted

    My 'burner' Nokia doesn't do photos - let's do a spot of imagining! Cambridge, UK, this afternoon, a cool 18" I suppose mid-blue MTB with chainstay U-brake. Ibis. Really?! 'Avion' it said on the top tube. A mixture of XT and 6-speed shifters. Rusty chain. Tange pink label. A student...
