Oh dear so it's basically a 96ish Backwoods or similar.

IDENTIFYING MARKS WHICH READ 'TEST PROTO ZASKAR' STAMPED ON THE TUBING....THIS COULD BE AN 'ONLY' SURVIVOR TEST UNIT !!

Oh pullease......

Looks just like a standard Zasker frame of the early/mid 90's...interesting that the seller hasn't posted pictures of the claimed 'proto' stamping.

Hahahaha

It might help if it was actually a zaskar :roll:

And why would there be a prototype almost a decade after they were first made??

It's a got a round end cap and the wrong mech hanger to be a Zaskar.
It's mid 90s standart 7005 aly GT frame.

93-95 Avalanche at very best.

However, what confuse me is later post 95 mech hanger and top tube gusset which apply to 94-95 models. Unusual. Maybe late 95 or 96 with old stock gusset?

I'll look forward to seeing the additional photos which have been promised in the listing.

WTF

How can seller have 100% positive feedback when blantant lies are told in the item description

THIS COULD BE AN 'ONLY' SURVIVOR TEST UNIT !! Ha Ha! :shock:

Had this response from the seller after I told him it wasn't a Zaskar

"umm,puzzled ? It's not a Zaskar ? I've owned a couple back in the 90's & raced for over 10 years...Pretty broad knowledge of the bike scene old & new..The Zasker Le's utilized 6041 extruded tubing over the 7005 used on the Zasker as it was lighter but still proved as strong..Now this unit i'm selling,wasn't a production run unit,as it declares stamped on the frame...'Zaskar test proto' Now,i'm assuming as it shares the geometry,7005 alluminium formed tubing & has 'Zaskar' stamped onto the frame,this is what is pertains to be..No production run serial numbers are evident,however the test stamps clearly identify the frame to be a GT ZASKAR..I will be posting more picture tomorrow after work."

You could ask if his broad knowledge of the scene includes the correct spelling of Zaskar, someone who knows 'the scene' would surely not make such a basic mistake :roll:
