For Sale 96 GT Zaskar Frame - price drop

[d8mok]

As above , what’s the date stamp?

What info do we have to prove it is what you say it is rather than a repainted 96/97 frame with repro decals? This will be the determining factor whether it sells for this money or not I feel.

Is the colour the paint sample for HOT blue? ( or Acid Blue ?)

What is the source of the info for the claim of it being a paint sample?

What date stamp is it?

Frame is 96/97 style of standard Zaskar. Certainly not a 98 LE

Decals are reproduction 96 ones.

How do you know that they decals are reproduction 96 ones?

OE ones are quite a bit different (not colours)

I can upload a close up pic of OE ones if needed from a NOS frame

typically in a factory that makes things (eg GT factory or any other industrial manufacturing plant for bikes and bike parts), you can make whatever you want and in different colors etc.

superb. you have a keen eye for detail and are very focussed on small things. it would be great if you could provide some evidence as to why they should be repro. closeup pics and a more detailed explanation why you think the decals are repro, would be of help.

I’ve no doubt but without some proof what’s to stop anyone claiming that a repainted frame is a “paint sample”.

As mentioned in the other thread running on here. There is often claims of prototype or race bike made with no supporting evidence.

isn't the seller a relatively active collector?
postings on facebook marketplace by unknown sellers make me vary too.

Yes he’s a long term member on here. I’m not sure of his GT knowledge hence asking these questions.

Same as when I’ve sold many items in the past which I’ve little knowledge of. I’ve been corrected on here by the fans of that particular brand on the facts.

There is probably 4 or 5 GT collectors in the UK which a paint sample frame would appeal to if true. But as always , it’s about what can be proven.

Here’s a 96 that are original. Note the ends of each letter and all the small details. It’s just not quite right on the repro ones.

This is another frame I have which has repro ones fitted.








And now together




Obviously lots of different types of repro decals so they vary.

Here’s a 96 in another colour way that’s original
