1996 GT Zaskar Ball Burnished 16"

[jobe]

Hi all, yep, im new! :roll:

I had a 98 Zaskar with a 27.2 seatpost size. Unfortunatly i sold it on ebay to a guy in Australia, worst thing i ever did. I stupidly emailed him the other day asking if he wanted to re-sell it back to me. Funnily enough i have had no response! :?

Zaskar Frames arrived, very very nice - Thanks Chris

Will soon be starting my rebuild, some of my components have started to arrive.

Think I'll be living in the Shed this weekend

I now have the potential to have 6 fully built GT bikes, think my mid-life crisis has started at the age of 37

Decals, headset and rear XT V's

Can you move this post onto reader's bikes pre1997

96 vintage was probably a 70-73mm travel fork as OEM spec. I wouldn't put anything more than 80mm on it.

Bit of an update on the Zaskar (been busy on rebuilding my Pantera)

****WARNING***** Modern Content

So what did I decide to do.........well NOS nice and shiny parts are getting real hard to source and I really want this bike to look and ride like new. So I've committed what many on here would regard as a cardinal sin I've purchased new parts !!!

Don't know what it will ride like (might be a bitch!) but I am fitting a new hollowtech BB and crankset once the tools arrive.

Couple of pics
