Is it a....? Yes! 1997 Zaskar

[legrandefromage]

By the power of greyskull or @KermitGKona88 , a well packed frame turned up after a mud wrestle, a duel at dawn, tiddlywinks and a few choice bicycle parts

A 1997 Zaskar, something I'd been thinking about for a while as I had some nice ish parts, a too small Kona and little else to play with

9 speed XT mix, cranks may stay, stem and bars to be decided

Nice set of SIDs too

Rides very well and is just the right size for hurling around the countryside

That is actually a very subtle build for you...

More hot Zaskar action!

I take it you are enjoying it?

Judging by the extensive courses it has taken around his garden, I would say it's up there with a can of cider.

The blue racer looks a bit uncomfortable, and what is that lurking behind the bin?

The positive of not running a saddle is that seat height is indefinitely adjustable, fully dependent on how relaxed and adventurous you are.

It's waiting on a replacement saddle
