'91 Zaskar - build finished

[paddy311]

Thought I would share some pics of the '91 Zaskar I've been working on.

I got this locally through eBay and have done a fair bit of work on it - mainly on the frame TBH. I've tried to use as much of the original parts from the bike as possible, but have replaced some wear parts -the BB, headset, chain, cassette etc.

As bought:



As it is now:

Nope - the fork was a Shock Tech one.

It was also utter scrap so got binned on day 1 of ownership
