What paint schemes where original?

Speaking from experience...there was No such thing as an "original" paint scheme Zaskar as none of the "originals" were ever sold painted. Ball Burnished or anodized colors only. First anodized frames were done in mid 92 and the anodized frames first appeared in a catalog for the 93 model year. The original ano colors in 93 were turquoise(aqua), purple and black. Ink Blue and Purple/BB fade were added in 95 and Red in 96. The frost ano (flat) in red and blue are from the 97 model year. The first painted Zaskar happened in 98.

If that frame serial number is inside the left rear dropout and starts with an "H" or is stamped 7005 inside either dropout it's a Pantera. Zaskar serial number noted in earlier post were all numeric at that time.

It's possible to run maguras on u-brake posts with a bit of modification

To be hoenst though - I fitted my first set of V's last year and well set-up canti's will server you well and be in keeping with the bike. Like someone else pointed out as well it might be weird with a progressive feel brake on the back and a grabby V (just my opinion) on the front. Whatever you fancy though - your bike and you'll be the one riding it.

I don't mind the canti's in fact I prefer them , but this fork has no cable stop hanger , if there is any solution let me know , it's a judy hydrocoil race 100mm

does the fork have a hole at the top of the brake arch? if there is you should be able to attach some sort of hanger...
otherwise you'll have to make something and stick it to it...

else toss the fork and get something else that will fit the geometry better, 100mm is maybe a bit long

Yeah it does have the hole on the arch, isn't that for a reflector? I'll have a look if there are adapters on eBay? What do you call it?

 

[T'boo Ted]

no idea, could be for a reflector, i always figured it was for a canti mount, never even thought of reflector

T'boo Ted suggested you might chuck your fork and get something that suits your bike's geometery better. gm1230126 is suggesting a fork that would do that. axle to crown is, for want of a better phrase, how 'tall' your fork is and, therefore, how high it lifts up the front end. Frames are designed around certain 'heights' and having the right one makes a huge difference to your bike (in terms of feel, longevity and so on).
