Identification of alloy GT frame

[winjohn]

I just bought this frame as a project. It was listed as a Zaskar but I don't think it is and at the price I paid I doubt it very much.
It has the flat end plate but no serial numbers on the dropout.
It also has a strange "scalloped" downtube.
Any ideas.

Doesn't look like a GT to me..

Keith Rylance also designed a few triple triangle frames back in the day.

Interesting!
That is exactly what it looks like!
I think I might have to strip ff the paint and polish up the alloy!

Steady now, that kind of enthusiasm at this time of day??

What was the new price on this? I have one, its mint and I use it regually.. But now i want to build a GT costom bike, but using another frame instead of using this bike.

If your tastes lean more towards the XC, the Zaskar Pro could be for you. At £1,299.99 it’s a full-bore speed machine built around an all-new Kinesis-built frame – hydroformed main tubes, tidy new dropout design and lovely silvery finish. Spec is straightforward – 85mm travel Reba SL fork, full Shimano XT groupset, Syntace bar and stem, Crank Bros Candy C pedals and Tioga tyres. We like.
