The MBUK Zaskar

[pjlarge]

Hello all,
I own the MBUK Zaskar and thought you might like to see it

Here's the stuff that came with it, some more decals for a colour change, a mint copy of the mag, and the certificate.

...and here it was when it lived in the shed looking somewhat neglected :shock:

I have a few things I want to do - replace the risers with flats, add some nice period bar ends, and ditch the raceface bottom bracket. I'm not using the Smoke and Dart tyres as they're brand new and it's a shame to destroy them!

Well done that man!

 

[clunker]

Lush.....good to see someone loves it now

Now that's what bikes are made for....riding! Great pics!

One question are the original spec Smoke and Dart tires available?

 

[pjlarge]

Hahaha, well they're sat doing nothing so I'll think about it. I didn't buy the bike as a garage queen, what's the point in having it if it's not going to be used, unique though it is? In all honesty I'll never use the tyres though...

Now, if you can find me a nice, medium Attitude in green / white / magenta then we may be talking

cool like it a lot

i think i like the forks and cranks most but the way it all creates a certain look is great and in the vintage bmx scene its known as retro when you put together something new that looks old

makes me wonder why people arnt making their new mountain bikes look like old mountain bikes

hmm , i think ill hang onto my 03 lavadome for a while now

Nice bike, but a weird choice of components.
But.. a real racing machine, what it's made for. That is just nice, a 20 year old design., but a modern racing and top-of-the-line look and machine.

I rebuild my GT LTS, 97 model, but I kept the Judy and replaced the innerworks with a SID World Cup. Classik look, modern Fork.

The Panaracers btw are re-issued so they are still for sale.

I like that .

the components were chosen by the Mag i think .

 

[OrangeRetro]

Very nice.. I love the purple bits..

BTW those tyres were one off smoke/dart amber walls and should stay with the bike. If you decide to sell them, they are worth far more then the black wall re-issues.

As a Zaskar owner I appreciate what MBUK did with that, but the thing that I love is that you're actually riding it. I'm so pleased that the bike is being used properly and not kept on a wall somewhere
