94 Aqua Turquoise Zaskar build (my unicorn)

[Aech]

Please switch the front wheel around, the position of the valve to the Spin graphic is offending my OCD.

I've had my Zaskar since new in '97 and my mate had a set of those wheels on his Pro-flex but I never thought to borrow them for the GT, shame as they look fantastic.

Found a AC crown / steerer for the Manitou 4s

It’s shiny and it’s lighter

Stunning bike mate. Bit of constructive criticism, have you considered in no particular order, mudguards, mirrors, racks c/w panniers and a bell?

Done

Wow! That's very nice. Wheels look a bit whacky to me, but very smart.

I’ll build my other one with normal wheels. Spins are marmite admittedly but they were a option from factory back then

Yep, those spins are Marmite - I like Marmite, I like that Like the Royce BB, and Manitou forks to mix it up even more. Good job, another one for the collection!

@d8mok How do the spins compare with a good quality conventional wheelset weight wise? Also do they feel different when you ride them, stiffer or more compliant?
