96 Zaskar rebuild with a twist. (Update)

[merckx]

yeah, the pace forks will look good on that build. looking good, its certainly different to most other zaskars out there. mine included

USE Post is a bit of a disaster - only 220mm long... Spitoon has offered up a gold post, but might be to many shades of gold to clash!

If you don't want to go for the gold post could you recommend me as a recipient?? I've been on the lookout for a gold post for a while for my GT, with no joy. A USE one would be perfect but anything will be ok....

Right, Pace Evo's turned up today. Absolutely perfect nick!

Here there are mocked up, but not fully fitted...

Build is really gaining momentum... Gold LX hubs are sourced (thanks to Passiflora for the Karma NOS like rear hub... a real 42 carat diamond as Delboy would say!) Some Greek bloke is sending me a NOS front.

Rims will be Mavic 517 ceramic jobbies off Rojo.

Anyone near Leeds who builds wheels?

Oh' and I've got a 9 speed sram cassette on the way that had anodized black detailing on the rear (I think!)

cool! you need to rotatethe bars around a tad, they are droopy, with the sweep pointing down instead of back.

the forks are a great match

Good point on the bars... I just threw them on really...

Update:

Got it on some wheels... Need to get the gold LX hubs built up though, also need a mech hanger.

Looking a lot better now on actual knobbly tyres

I'd ask Gil to make some gold decals and have the frame powdercoated in gloss black.
Really, with those components the frame just looks out of place on that bike.
