I’ve not read that entire thread however I’ve read lots of misinformation from a well known poster on there. Sometimes maybe over the years information gets lost or confused but I know more knowledgeable people on Zaskars than him.
My favourite some years ago was him saying frost coloured anodised Zaskars don’t exist even though posters were showing the pics of their bikes and quite simply they aren’t even rare.
Did 6061 Avalanches have a number format serial number?
The ones I’ve had have all contained letters albeit it’s only around 3 I’ve had.
