The Retrobike official Badly Faked Zaskar Thread.

Think the last two are actual Zaskar's, just not 'Retro'.

Both have curved end-caps so no Zaskars. 2nd one has been re-advertised (wonder why !), took the mick the first time.

Sorry, didn't even notice that post from defconfunk - I was responding to big.eck:

The modern versions of the Zaskar do have round end caps, but the disc monts are the giveaway:

But then they did put this in the ad:

Frame is disc and v-brake compatible.

Seems a bit harsh on the eBay seller to out them as not what the manufacturer labelled them, regardless of whether we (as purists) agree with it.

The Ebay listing that has a cotter pin chainset photo is a 96/7 Avalanche I think. I'd say the seller just bought it un decaled and just dosn't know any better

 

[Drencrom]

I'd agree with that.

Nah, look at the drop outs, the down tube gusset, the replaceable hanger, I'm pretty confident that's a gt. The daewoo is different in all those areas.

Bikepedia lists a 12.5" in 1998.

Edit to clarify - the bike you posted is definitely not a GT, I think the 12.5" currently on ebay is a GT, although a zaskar I don't know.
