Whilst looking for a high end 20" steel GT, I Picked up ths Zaskar last weekend and it looks as though it is one of the ealiest ever made. Mostly original except for bars, seat, post, forks and pedals. The seller had it in their garage for 15 years.
It is Suntour XC Pro equiped with the dia compe U brake. There are no dents of cracks anywhere and the dropout hangar is straight. Amazing condition for the age. Even the brake pads look original! The only marks are on the U brake and stem which can easily be refurbed / touched up. The bottom bracked is shot so will have a look at that in the short term. I will aim to get it back to original equipment (forks maybe an issue) But if anyone fancies swapping for a high end 20" GT I am open to suggestions.
Not knowing much about these early ones I am trying to find out if this groupset was standard fitment / option on the 91 Zaskars. The 91 catalogue just shows the frame. Also trying to find out if anyone knows whether this is no 88 of Zaskar frames ever built or just those in the UK?
Any info would be gratefullu received. Will get more photos later.
