Re:

It could be,its got a decent enough spec and besides even if its a plain old Pantera,for 65 bucks you couldnt go wrong.....

Re:

Not another 'is this a zaskar post' !! Yes it looks like a 14.5" zaskar from 1995 ish, just with fairly rubbish parts. As always, you need to ask the seller for the serial number to clarify

NEXXXXT!!!!!?

The brakes alone are worth more than they are asking for the bike..

Re:

The fork lets it down,those Ballistic elastomer forks were very poor.Some of the groupset and especially the brakes(Gravity Research?) make this a bit of a bargain,if its a genuine Zaskar then bonus but if not the bits alone make it well worth the punt.

Re:

Probably has rarity value just because it is the small wheeled version of the Zaskar - I think they had 20 inch wheels, although listed as 18 inch...

Guys, you are all lost. That's one of the rarish 1995 24" wheel GT Zaskars that came stock with the Ballistic Elastomer fork. Originally sold as a frame and fork kit w/stem.
GT produced these as an upscale starting race bike for kids back in the day when Shimano was sponsoring a Youth series of races at all the NORBA Nat's and grundigs.
Anyway this one is gone already. Was just to good a deal.

Re:

Im sure it was one of these 24 inch wheel zaskar's that Jamie Tompkins (son of mrcrud) rode in his early days as he was quite small and had a bit of trouble with a 26er.

Wonder what happened to him?...
