1992 Zaskar

[jimihendrix]

Very BIG but Very nice

yeah the 20" zaskars always look visually massive. it is a huge difference between the 19" frame and the 20

Most look big to me as i ride a wee 16"

Cheers man , flats would look better but my back and shoulders would disagree

You have probably noticed, my frame's a 94 but with earlier decals as the big ZASKAR on the downtube rocks

Yea good idea could even swap out the bravado frame as I have a 93 (94 issue?) 20" LE I'll send up too, may be able to build up with the parts from your 95?

man you have collected some stuff

Too much need a clean out :shock:

the big ZASKAR on the downtube rocks

2nd that^ liked it when gt pushed the names of their bikes over the branding, quite the opposite every other bike brand

riser bars with sweep make the bike fun to ride and handle well too. yes, i agree, the big down tube zaskar is their best looking graphic. it looks heaps better than the "All Terra" downtube decals.

i took the bike out for its first ride on the dirt today, it was fantastic. for a large bike, it is amazing stiff and direct.

i have now flipped the stem though, it felt a bit high when climbing in the upright position.

I think its quite nicely proportioned actually for a 20" bike.

You know, I grew up with the Eddie Roman videos and started taking notice of mountain bikes smack in the 'All Terra' era, and I actually prefer it over the earlier and later liveries. However I do get that the big model name decals are pretty iconic.

so i took it for a ride in the bush today, what a hoot. needed to flip the stem though to get the weight over the front end climbing the steep stuff.

its two extremes though, very high bars, or very low (slammed)

it certainly has a more aggressive stance being flipped, and visually lowers the proportions of the thing.

it has 180mm cranks on it, i have only ever ridden 175's (20yrs or so) The 180's are really quite hard to turn over, cadence is slower for sure. i wasn't expecting it to be so noticeable

out on the trails this arvo. brisbane is flooding today, so may as well go for a pedal in the bush. its typically very dry at gap creek, so to see streams running, is quite unusual.
