1997 GT Zaskar **Update 21/3 incl new forks**

[Pickle]

Cheer Tom.

The 'do something different' gamble has paid off

Hope to have it finished in the next couple of weeks. May even lacquer over the frame to get a gloss finish as apposed to the current matt.

Been a while since I've done anything, but finally Mark (legrandefromage) and I managed to pin down a Sunday together to do a little more.

Mark pulled out some mint condition Indy S forks from his boot which really took my fancy and slipped straight on. Handy, because he fancied the rigid forks back.

Quick bottom bracket swap as the current unit was a little too small. Bontrager bar stem combination on and LX V's and levers.

Nearly done now.

What a beautiful colour Zaskar frame.

Forks really suit, too

I really must get pics of the progress of my Zaskar up

Cool, very 'stealthy', understated but no mistaking the quality

Colour looks great once built up. The gamble paid off

Thanks for the comments chaps.

Really pleased with the forks, seem to suit the bike a lot better that the rigids and its nice to now have a rigid, hardtail and full-suspension bike in the shed.

Personnaly i would have gone with the bright electric blue with white decals, not a fan of matt purple, but as we say each to our own i suppose, aslong as you like it and enjoy riding it thats all that matters

Gee

Yes, I agree the electric blue is a great colour scheme, but purple is different

I may lacquer at a later date, which should make it a little less matt and also toughen the paint.
