Sold GT Zaskar 1991 18" with Suntour XC Pro

[MCA4President]

Time to move on my 1991 18" GT Zaskar that I thoroughly enjoyed restoring through the Covid lockdown, etc. It has had a full strip down and polish, with the forks and stem having been repainted, and new decals from Gil. There is a full restoration thread viewable here if you're interested: https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/91-gt-zaskar.431363/. The front and rear mechs were NOS when fitted and are in exceptional condition, the other parts including the rare Suntour XC Pro seatpost are in very good condition. I've ridden it a total of 1.5 miles since I finished it a couple of years ago, and has been kept clean, dry and warm ever since.

Bike is sadly too small for me to ride, so I'm wanting to move it on so it can get ridden. I'm looking for £500 with collection available from Stonehouse, near Gloucester (GL10 postcode). I may split at a later date, but it would be a shame to split a perfectly functional complete bike.

Lovely machine! Have a real soft spot for early Zaskars. Too BIG for me, plus shouldn’t be looking either! Good price and nice to see one with Suntour too! GLWS.

Beautiful mate, glws

That is well nice.
If you split I would love the Suntour stuff for my '91 Explosif. I'm not going to buy to split but if you do go that way make me an offer.

Well yeah, I thought the price was fair tbh, perhaps a little too fair?! I'm happy it's going to a good home though.
