I come up with a 113mm BB . This is a compact 22 tooth crankset and the arms are /were right where I would want them . I did not check the chainline.

If you have a seven speed freehub you will need to change to a 8 speed freehub and probably re-dish and re-space if you are not already at 135mm spacing.

I have a set here I was going to pull off a Zaskar for ebay , I can measure the BB if you have not found your answer. Most likely tonight or tomorrow will be as soon as I can get to it though.

I'm in the Large-Large + 1" camp, never thought a miss shift destroying a RD is a sound I ever wanted to hear.

True, consider rider weight into the equation and the same bike will be Nirvana for a 145 lb rider and a noodle for a 210 lb rider. That said , the later Trek 900 series actually have thinner tubes than the early lugged 900 frames, have modern Norba geometry, excellent tubing and are cheap as...

Owning a early rigid Zaskar (1992) I would disagree. My 1995 rigid Stumpjumper while, no noodle rides better, Handles at least as good , better IMO, and definitely wins the grin contest hands down. I just don't see a Aluminum framed non suspension corrected bike beating out a over sized Tange...

I bought mine off EBAY USA 2lbs for less than $10.00 usd. It only takes a tiny bit for a kiddie pool to get .02%(by weight) you just have to do the math to get the solution correct . Bikeforums.org in the Retro-classic forums has lots of threads on OA. Just neutralize the acid with Sodium...

I would try .02 % Oxalic Acid in a kiddie pool for a couple of days before anything else. Will remove the rust and not harm the paint. Do a internet search, lots of information out there.

The first four numbers of your serial number will be month/year of manufacture.

Not much love over here either, I like that also!

Just clear it yourself with a fizzbomb enamel. Strip the bike, wet sand with 2000 grit and follow the directions on the can after wiping down with acetone or wax and grease remover.

I have a gold one on a built up wheel , unfortunately shipping from here would be prohibitive.

The Manitou's on that bike are boring, the rigid 3D even in the low position makes for faster steering. I traded my manitous off once I rode the rigid's on my 92 Zaskar.

Bad move IMO . Touch up the paint and shoot a coat of clear enamal over the top . I have the testers enamel color code for the grey if you are interested. If you ever decide to sell it you will be sorry if you repaint.

If the tubing diameter and lengths are identical to a Zaskar I doubt anybody could tell any difference in ride quality as stiffness is determined by diameter and not thickness for the most part. Of course Zaskar purists will argue this point .

Ha, that's what my wifee tells me, " you never met a bike you didn't like"..........

Hate to be the bearer of bad news , but that is a Taiwanese built frame , not a USA built Zaskar and if it is a Zaskar it is post 1999 and needs to be moved to the other forum. Since it does not have a replaceable derailleur hanger I vote 90's Pantera.

Cad 3 , Classic norba geometry ......goes around corners just fine.
