Re: GT Zaskar Aqua Retromod
was thinking about doing something like this some time ago. Kudos
If it were me, I'd go for something like the original picture. Black chainring, skewer nuts and valve caps.
the original 517s or the black x317s look good. Same with the bombers or all the rigid forks.

Re:
Thanks. I couldnt find much out there in the way of larger chainrings for compact cranks like the turbine so i had to make do with what i could find. Although i agree that the raceface one i had looked better, it was 32t and i couldnt get up much speed on it. I do like the turquoise bits, it makes the colour pop out a bit more, but i guess they would be a 'bit much' for some peoples taste

I think you made the right choice to rebuild the wheels, they're look smart when back on the bike

okay.... apart from the bombers making a return and the wheels, updates are the the Raceface Evolve DH bars and Azonic Shorty stem. They make it much easier to flick the bike around, which is fun, but when im riding while standing the shorter stem does make it feel like all my bodyweight is over the front wheel.
bit heavy on the pics but nevermind, will post the spec and weight upon completion
22 this month...
went for a quick blast around the woods which is fun this time of year, but splashback arent exactly what id call grippy in the wet stuff

Not daily but i try to get out and ride once a week. The z2 superfly i got only weighs 3.4ibs because its such a simple fork, but the z1 was a lot heavier

Re:
Yeah i remember, The orange bombers looked good against your polished frame. I think my two favourite colours are the turquoise and the ink blue, I doubt i'll ever see an anodised black one
