91 GT zaskar fork help....

[mrlucky]

Hi there, i would like to know if anyone here has any idea the original 91 GT zaskar rigid fork looks like?

i've recently "capture" a 91 zaskar... but i am very doubtfull on the forks originality.... so i thought it would be good if i can check with anyone with knowledge here...

any help would be appreciated.... thanks!

I think it may have had the spinner made GT 2x4 fork - with adjustable rake dropouts... but I'm sure GM will be along soon to confirm or otherwise.

have a look in the archive

looks like a 3d fork but not namesd as such, says GT 2x4( i think) offset adjustable cromoly fork,

what size is your bike, if a 16 then i might have some forks to fit

3D fork was 1992 onward it had 3 positions of rake adjustment, the 2x4 fork up to 1991 but came on some early 1992 bikes too (or just mine ), it had 4 positions of rake adjustment.

Thanks - always wondered what the difference is between 3x4 amd 3D!

If you goto the Gallery & Archive section you can look at the 1991
catalogue !

There are pix and a bit on the 2x4 forks.

so am i right to assume 91 zaskars dun really use conventional rigid forks?

one thing for sure the fork that came with the zaskar has NO gtemblemwhatsoever stamped on it....
