Hi From Wales and Zaskar troubles.

[smashinstella]

I have today contacted the seller and he has offered a full refund however I really wanted to restore the bike, The bike is as original as it could be and would not of had forks fitted. I have also contacted a local specialist welder who specializes in alloy wheel repairs and who has also experience of fixing bikes. Danson67 where abouts are you? I believe the bike to be Taiwanese how could i confirm this? I will check for numbers etc when the weather changes !
Thanks for the advice so fat guys

I'd take the money and wait for a better one.

These are amreican built frames if it has 6061 stamped on the rear drop out along with the frame number on the other.

Speaking as a fat zaskar owner.

lmao Given I'm the fat guy at the back ! Genuine typo i'm afraid !

just to weigh in, Zaskars aren't rare enough to warrant welding, even if it wasn't really quite difficult.

 

[legrandefromage]

Neither are Kleins but hey ho.

TBH, if be more worried about the damage you can't see/haven't found given that particular failure..........

How did you get on smashinstella? Refund or repair?

 

[smashinstella]
