I think I bought a Zaskar =D

The Pantera first appeared in the 1992 and had a flat end cap and a rear u-brake. As far as I know it was made from 7000 series alloy rather than 6061.

All subsequent non Zaskar frames like the Avalanche AL etc had the curved end cap.

Could be a Pantera AL... My 91 Pantera looks identical to a Zaskar, even down the flat GT logo on the back of the top tube.

I suspect that your Pantera is actually from the 92 model year, but the production code will say 1991 as it will of course have been manufactured for release in late 1991.Mine wasnt painted,just 'Ball Burnished" (polished). Also it had blue and yellow GT graphics.


The Pantera was originally painted red with black decals and a Suntour groupset. So painting it wouldn't be a sin at all, if indeed it turns out to be a Pantera rather than a Zaskar.

The pantera was also available in silver with blue decals, from memory it had a 500lx or deore Lx groupset
