not a Zaskar BTW I was hoping it may have been a Bravado or an Avalanche but it is a Kara.

cant argue at that price- nice colour, will fit in with the rest of the gang

nope good price, paint works no too bad and it has a BB gripshift 1.5 LX cantis and a LX front shifter. Will have to date it, its the one with the groove tube. Feels relatively light too. I was going to use it as a donor for a frame building project but its maybe too nice to chop up :?

zasker looks good

Its a karakorum mores the pity but still a nice frame This may float your boat but I was looking for a steel frame of reasonble standard I was going to cut of the back end and weld in new stays to accept an surly wheel and tyre. Make myself a fat bike no practical reason really just a wee project.

i'd have to have a look out back............ from memory i have a diamondback topanga , a claudbutler thing ? a big green raleigh thing and a saracen rufftrax with oversized tubes . you can have any of them for free since it's for a good cause...

 

[big.eck]

this I have yet to source once I decide if I'm going to do it I'll fork out

 

[big.eck]

i've been on the hunt for a tyre for a wee while now and havent found one yet :roll: if you find somewhere that stocks them , geeza shout pweeeeeese

 

[kaiser]

jensons?

I've used them before for rims, quick service. Theres a new tyre coming out too slightly different profile to combat the slow speed sluggishness of the current one.
