94 Aqua Turquoise Zaskar build (my unicorn)

[SantasLoneCruzer]

I’d decided even before the frame became a reality that it would wear M900 and Spins.

Headset is a nice CK in turquoise , BB is a Royce which I had already stashed.

Saddle is a 93 Flite which came on the bike new.

Cassette and skewers are on route

Nice stash!

BOTM- I doubt a Zaskar could match some of the exotic stuff that is entered.

Mine came 3rd dude amongst some far more exotic stuff, so this should be a contender for the crown!

Too much ?
I quite like them

 

[Stressed]

Too much- give them to me

I'm close to acquiring what I believe to be a 94 model year Zaskar LE, in ball burnished finish. The top tube graphic matches the catalogue images. Catalogue lists LE as ball burnish and the standard Zaskar Turquoise anodized. Is this correct? Assume it was just component changes between the two models?

Since I'm building this up from a bare frame, considering having it anodized in the turquoise, wasn't sure if it would be wrong to re-sticker it as an LE.

Any recommendations/experience of someone to do this in the midlands area?

Only difference betweeen normal and Le was components.

You will struggle to find anyone to anodise a frame. And then you will struggle even more to replicate the colour hence why frames are between 800-1000 for a good one

Ouch! Definitely beyond my budget.

I’m going to have a ring round a few local metal finishers, I’ll report back!

They only used to be £300/frame before @d8mok started buying them all up.. he doesn't even want anymore aqua's, he's only buying them to inflate the value of his collection

Good luck. I rang most of them in the UK and only found 2 willing to do it.
