I did weigh them on the crude analogue scales and the 2001 Zaskar was only a little lighter in weight but I can't remember exactly by how much.
I have already fitted the cranks and can't be bothered to take them off.

Build both. The missus will be OK with it.

Just weighed the 2011 Zaskar which came in at 2067 grams with the seat collar, part of the headset(sealed bearings), and bottle cage still fitted.I did weigh them on the crude analogue scales and the 2001 Zaskar was only a little lighter in weight but I can't remember exactly by how much.

I may well build both but keep them for myself.

2001 geometry much different?
I'd imagine a longer fork and fatter tyres, but not yet got longer and slacker?

I have just held the 2011 Zaskar up against the 2001 Zaskar and the difference in the geometry is noticeable, so I wouldn't want to fit anything longer than 100mm travel on the 2001 Zaskar.

It is not a huge difference so can't see an issue using my 100mm travel Fox Float 100RL forks on the 2001 Zaskar.
Will swap out the crown race and re-grease the headset tomorrow after work.
More photos will follow soon.

Another quick update, brakes, derailleurs and cables fitted.
Will need to source a Shimano XT rear derailleur next as the Deore one is just ugly.
I am quite pleased with how it looks, I definitely prefer the way this frame looks over the one it replaced!
