Zaskar serial number anomaly

[legrandefromage]

I purchased my Zaskar, new in October 1993

The serial number starts '1193***'

According to others, that means it was manufactured a month after I bought it yet the bike had been in Mike's Bikes Cambridge since early 1993 (with my dribble on it).

First of the first 93? and they omitted the zero's....

1193.... should be 'november 1993' and mostly a 1994 series Zaskar
(because bikes were produced several months before delivery).

I suspect not on closer inspection it did look like an Avalanche.......

At the time you bought it did you have one of these installed in your car:

I read your first post, but in Zaskar terms it should be....

Maybe some first delivery when they started canti-mounts instead of the U-brake???? But that still doesnt explain the 11-93 :?

Just guessing..

Is it this one?

Then it has flat cap, alu frame, so a Zaskar.

I bought it, new in the shop in October 1993, I had on the same day, bought an RTS frame but as I couldnt find a decent set of built up wheels in the whole of Cambridge, I took the RTS frame back and bought the Zaskar as a complete bike instead all £1400 of it.

I took the bike home on the bus.

It was the number 73, Cambridge - Huntingdon
