Evening all,
I have been nosing the net to find out some info on my Zaskar and if its worth adding a few upgrades to the old beast and a coat of paint...?
then foud you lot....
1995/96 YELLOW zaskar, yep I was one of the sad gits that bought a yellow one, personally picked the yellow one as everyone had polished frame and the powder blue was to be a 6 week wait !! it was one of the 1st bikes localy fitted with "V" brake technology and an 8 cassette o wow !) and because i wanted to be able to chuck it about, (and only 5'7" ) it was a 14" frame fitted with RST Mozza pro's (4" travel) ooh ! I still have the purchase reciept and cant belive i spent £1,652.86 on it specking it up !!
Im thinking of a proffessional re-spray to white, new set of mavic xc717 in black,discs,and a good gear set, dont get me wrong it still works fine now, this would bring it up to date a bit, but its yellow
Right, the magic question....... IS IT WORTH IT !
I am well aware the frame is one of the classic alltime hardtails,as it was in its day, this is why i splashed out on it !! or should i tuck it up for a few more years and buy something modern...? :cry:
comments................ :cry: :cry: :cry:
cheers
Kipper.
