Please take your time to look at the rest of the photos, showing more frame detail - scrapes and scuffs etc.

Bought this as an impluse purchase, but in reality it is too big for me.

So, is it a Zaskar?

Flat GT plate - check
Riveted cable stops/guides - check
USA made frame no. - check (see pics....)
6061 stamp - no.... But, frame number is too early for an Avalanche? (step forward gm1230126 please)

Underneath the blue paint is the original ball burnished alloy finish, so the previous owner reassured me (says he sprayed it, to stop it being stolen!!). Other than the few battle scars it sports, it's in pretty good condition (pics show more detail). Bit of chain suck damaged, bit of handle bar meet top tube damage, and a few other tube scuffs.

Flipflop stem and original GT handlebars, and triple trak forks are all there, also included is a period Dia Compe U-brake.

I've not asked in the 'What's it worth thread', so i'm asking for what i think it might be worth - considering the condition of the paint, and the other parts included in the sale.

£150 posted, securely to UK addresses.

If there is serious interest, and i'm out on the price, please form an orderly queue!!

Avalanche was out in 1991.

Looks good though.. I'm VERY interested.. May be too big though.

Wasn't the '91 Avalanche Tange Prestige? :?

It came specced with Suntour parts, so i presume it was bought as a Frameset package (Tech Shop?).

Yes - '91 Avalanche was Prestige...aluminium versions arrived much later. My money would be on it being a Zaskar but I'm sure better informed folks will confirm

Also looks like a 22" over a 20"

 

[Bike Hoarder]

Yes and no... GT measure it as a 20", actual centre to top is 22 and a bit! :shock:

 

[mikeekim89]

Really?

iirc my 18" stamped Zaskar was measured c-t.

I was just going by the '91 catalogue, GT say the biggest is 20" so i presume that this is said beast! All i know is, it's like a barn gate, and sadly too mohassive for me.... :roll:
