My 98 GT Zaskar build

[trxrincon]

And she's finally finished. She weighs 25lbs thinks shes maybe a wee bit too fat, or is that an ok weight??

Let me know what you think

Looks just how a zaskar should. 25 is probably upper end weight wise but yours looks like it will take as much abuse as you could throw at it.

Thanks Stu, I really wanted it around the 23 mark but hey I like the way it is so she's staying a fat girl! haha

You'd easily lose weight in the saddle I guess, and perhaps the wheels (dont know what they are). But 25lb isnt a bad weight with a bit of bounce. REckon mine weighs about the same.

Wheels are mavic 517 on xt parallax 737 hubs, was thinking about some RS sids?

 

[coomber]

517 should be fairly light. I'm putting D521's on mine! They are heavy!

Sids would be lighter no doubt, they dont really weigh much at all.

 

[trxrincon]

cool 521's you making it in to an all mountain ride? I'm skint at the min so wont be looking at sids for a while, wanna get my lobo built!

 

[coomber]

I've got Z2s en route, just trying to make it more practical. They are great frames.

 

[trxrincon]

cool, you'll have to get some pics up.

SID are a good ride no doubt but compared to your forks. SL by the looks of it they will be SO flexy. Not so good to use on a bike like that unless you way nothing.

Whole thing looks amazing though.
