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!

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.

The reborn GT has been making lots of progress over the last few years, and 2006 should be something of a watershed for the company. The last models carried over from the “old” GT have gone and there are some tasty new treats in store. Recent Avalanche incarnations have had universally good...
