Mystery Frame with potential

[rrrroberts]

I'll pick this up in a couple of weeks. I only have this photo. Bought it cheap for the frame, plus a couple of useful accessories. It's a real mish mash with curved forks and weird stem and bars. The rear canti looks like it's falling off and it may have a retro fitted brake cable stop.

The manufacturer is obvious, the colour means the year is probably one of two, and the rear mech looks like a Suntour XCD which could pin it down completely.

However looking at the way the light is reflecting off the top tube and then the same on the down tube - is that fluting...?

Thought the same, and original poster hinted at that .....see first line of second paragraph.

Perhaps I should read more instead of just looking at the pictures!

It's a zaskar, amirite?

You're correct right up the the "Zaskar" part...

Re:

No rack mounts - that's a bit odd for a Kona.

It doesn't have a dog collar either.

Re:

If it is an '89 / '90 resprayed in black with later decals then it won't have a dog collar. But anything after that should.

Could be a 1990 Cinder Cone or Explosif they don't have rack mounts.
