Hi all i've just discovered this site
i have A Zaskar le that i built from a new frame around 95,
I used to do a bit of fun racing around the Surrey and Berks area around that time and this was considered the frame to have for heavyweight tall guys like me.
its got mainly xtr stuff with Middleburn cranks control tech seatpost i beam stem and club roost bars.
the wheels are Mavic with xtr hubs. the front one was a radial laced hope hub but that broke a few years ago.
the pedals are red Shimano spds, and i still have the Nike Ngubar shoes.
I don't ride as much as i like but it gets an outing every so often.
my plan over the next few weeks is to strip it down and polish everything back up, then reassemble with period parts.
most of the components are fine but im not keen on the Quadra 21r's (couldnt stretch to Judys at the time) they work ok but im not keen on the look.
also i have the Club roost Go bars and im undecided about going back to straights with bar ends.
my other dilema is the saddle, it got a modern Gt saddle on it at the moment as the Yellow Flite got scuffed in a Jumping incident not sure whether to stay with comfort or find find another flite.
last but not least the tyres, i used to have Butterscotch wildgrippers ( to go with my Yellow theme) but they perished a long time ago. anyone know if there any about ?
