GT Zaskar Pro 2006

[Markbsi]

Always wanted a Zaskar when I was younger and this frame came up cheap locally a few years ago. It's sat in the shed for years with the intention of building it but as usual life got in the way.
Last year I decided it was time to get it built and start enjoying it so after months of collecting parts, it's almost finished. I still need a couple of things, a shorter stem and new decals for the forks.

Changed the bars back to black with some nukeproof warheads, fitted a shorter raceface stem. Also replaced the decals on the forks to colour match everything else. New tyres too.

A few changes to the Zaskar recently:

Full XTR M980 groupset,
Hope AM 70mm stem
Thomson Elite seat post
WTB pure V GT saddle
Hope Ti skewers
Hope seat clamp

Just need to shorten the brake hoses to complete it.

Some new bits for the GT this weekend.

Hope Carbon bars
Hope Race Evo brakes with red floating discs
Serviced the forks.
Deity supracush grips




I decided to go with the hope brakes as the XTR calipers catch the rivets on the floating discs plus I preferred the black levers rather than the silver.

Congratulations on the bike . Looks clean

A cheap 2008 carbon zaskar frame appeared locally on facebook so I bought it and swapped everything over. Unfortunately I'm not that keen on the blue of the new frame with the red parts.

As it sits now with the red swapped for blue.

In 2006/2007 I bought a Zaskar Team frame and had it built with spare parts from the LBS. My first ‚proper’ mountainbike to go racing with. Fond memories indeed.
