Just purchased a 12.5" Zaskar frame on ebay for my wife.
I'll post some good pictures of it when it arrives.
I've seen many threads on these things and here's what I've learned:
If you take a look at the German 1997 and 1998 catalog, the Zaskar was offered as a complete bike, down to as small as 14", and offered as a frame only, as small as 12.5".
Xizang was offered as a complete bike as small as 16", and there was a rare frame only as small as 14".
The Zaskar frame I purchased has flat dropouts (not the box CNC ones), which I wanted since I drill all of my old frames to fit disc adapters.
It's got a flat top tube end cap, bent top tube, and drops are stamped 6061.
Once arrives, I'll document the build here.
