The Fakezar, or Zaskain’t conversion now complete.

Since finding out it wasn't a Zaskar, (despite the seatpost O/D which we'll put down to 'rimming') I decided to convert the .thing into a road commuter. The Fakezar, or Zaskain’t conversion from off roader to on roader is now complete.

Yes it does look like an undersized road bike for a 7 year old. Should change direction quickly though.

Off on my first test blast now.

That's the most ill-fitting bike setup I think I've seen posted on here. Bravo! :shock:

Bakc Pain.

I've lined it up next to my OCR road bike and the front ends actually higher so it *should* be no less comfortable than that.

After riding that for several miles if there is ever a re-make of The Hunchback of Notre Dame I'm sure you'll be top of the list!

Looking at the height of that post, me thinks you needs an 18" frame sunshine!

(ps: I'm selling my lovely 18" genuine Zaskar at the moment )

Bigger Frame?

Nah! It's a small frame but the top tube length difference isn't that great with a 20" and it's got 20" forks thrown on it, hence the spacers. So it brings it inline with my Giant OCR frame, in fact the fronts higher on this GT.

As for the other GT, it's got fat, offroad tyres on it, no thankQ. Although I like the dual levers.

If you can ride it and are comfortable on it who cares , i think it looks fine, needs a bigger outer chainring though.
