Show Us Your Xizang's

[T'boo Ted]

This thread isn't really helping...

I really need to buy one! Was telling the other half, if it pans out that I get this new job i'm supposed to be getting, then I think I'll be tracking one down and jsut get rid of everything else...

OK, I'll kick this off

My 1992 Xizang... bought off Wadsy here on the forum and ever so thankful for it!

Pic from last year, it's got a Flite Ti saddle, Topline crankset and A-TAC/HyperLite combo now. Will make some new pics when I have my U-brake setup and I'm out riding again

OMFG!!! Sorry about that... nope didn't forget about it, just had that name in my head. I wonder what I bought off him then, can't be the Merlin either (that was kokies). But anyway, thanx to Radoslaw for providing me with one of the best bikes in my collection

You bought from me dude, already forgot? Nicely done example.

It happen when you buying too much my friend I have same problem here BTW, your xizang is worth to watch again

Mine is not a minter, have peeled decals, old were tatty anyway, still undecided what look I prefer with or without decals.

Pity they never made them in in 14.5 in, It;s taken me 3 years to find a pre disc brake Zaskar in this size and as these weren't listed in the '96 catalogue either, I assume they were a special order? they all look stunning and ride really well!

But do you trust the Chinese when it comes to the correct pronunciation of a word meaning Tibet, surely its more right on to call it Bod as that is the Tibetan word for Tibet?

They did make 14.5" and pre disc 14.5" Zaskar's are easy to find on this side of the pound. Have easily had over a dozen. If hard to find in Europe it's probably because the distributors got cold feet and didn't order many in.

i see you got the new graphics fitted looks good

ive gone through nearly 2 tubes of polish with mine, its a nightmare keeping it shiny especially with how easy it picks up the fingerprints

Aye your not wrong, when the build is finished (2050) lol, I'm going to do 1 full polish then forget about the marks- life is far too short
