...I love my '97


it doesn't say where the new frame is being produced?

 

[merckx]

it also does not describe if it is a 29er or 26er first and foremost.

it seems silly to 'recreate' a legend but make it have lifeless 29 inch wheels...

why oh why did they have to bend the downtube. its just not necessary....

made in taiwan from what i have read elsewhere...that will also take the shine off it a little...

the 26 is only being made in 3 sizes, the biggest being 18. anyone needing a bigger frame is forced to go 29.

all the other GT hardtails are 29....its a shame. i have ridden GT's 29 er frame and it is pretty ordinary. very lifeless feeling bike. its just a big old dumb tank...

at $2,200 taiwan is likely

But it looks like they did the revived Zaskar in the states so all hope is not lost.

When the Re-Issue of the American made Zaskar happened
in 2007 the number one question from our passionate
brand fans was “ When is the Xizang !!”.

The re-issue was over here as well, a forum search should pick a few up and Wiggle sold them.

its all the rage in Taiwan, the history in that article is interesting but the "proud heritage" is lost for good, as this is really just another mass produced, Taiwanese piece of shit

my point was that GT manufactured the reissue zaskar in the states.
