Re: Zaskars - When 2 become 1..

I couldn't resist taking a couple more photos just now. I just love the colour - it really does 'pop'

So, it turns out that a 27.0 post DOES fit after all..! A little bit of a clean and a grease and it slid right in

So, here it is for now. I've got a titanium seatpost to come, and also a set of M950 Vs.

I'm pleased with it though. The Aqua is a fantastic colour

Beat me!!

Looks excellent that does. Mine should be finished this week.

Then we have to arrange a Zasker meet.

I'll post some more photos up once the new post and brakes are on. Might look for a 120mm Thomson stem too..

As you can see I'm right on the borderline for a 16" frame, but I think they look so much nicer in a smaller size. Looking forward to seeing yours finished

All this greasing and sliding I think beating should be banned from this meeting.
