The 1996 GT ZASKAR LE has 2 versions?

[Denso_Retro]

Morning,
I discovered that the zaskar le was in 2 versions by 1996..
First you had the xtr m900 spec'd and later you have the xtr m950 spec'd.

I am very interested in a catalogue spec scan of the m950 version.
I mean the last page of the prospect where the specifications list for each type is located.

Also the original gt brochure isnt totally right because the picture is the early m900 zaskar le with the normal zaskar specs. But i read somewhere somebody noticed this also. In Germany there is a brochure with the m950 spec'd version. Thats the one im looking for.

Thanks in advance
Regards

yeah well 950 cam eout in 1996, so when they made the catalogue there might not be any 950 to take shots of... but I'd imagine there's an update catalogue made to show stuff, like there are 2 1993 catalogues and 2 1998 versions.
Have you actually seen the catalogue and trying to find a copy, or are you going by what some one says...? Cause you never know they might be thinking of the 1997 one. But if there is a 1996 catalogue floating about that isn't that terrible little leaflet thing,I'd love to see it, hopefully there's scans somewhere.

Thanks. I've seen scans on google of a later 1996 Zaskar LE version. But i would like to see the whole catalogue scan. Someone?

Thanks a lot! Appreciate it
But.. Somethings not right. Same as Bikepedia also says.

It says XTR M950 group. But With GT Titanium BB square taper on M950?
Strange.
Also The german Brochure says XT/XTR component set.
I remember the german pamflet says XT shift brake comboset.

Think GT made a small mistake by pressing the brochures.

Re:

No problem. That’s from the 1996 retailer/dealer catalogue. There are a few other Zaskars in there - Techshop frame only; Zaskar with XT and the kids Zaskars. I’m sure it’s quite possible that stuff got swapped around before it reached the customer.
