Well the Zaskar has succumbed to its injuries and is now officially dead. The dent on the downtube developed a crack and it grew and grew unsurprisingly. It did take me round SSUK though and give me a taste of the Zaskar magic. All in all I quite liked it maybe a size too big for me but mananged to fit with a shorter stem. It was quite well balanced and put the meagre power I had available down quite well.
Would I buy another? Probably not, I've definitely moved to the steel side of the street but it is another GT that has surprised me and convinced me I need to get that psyclone one day
RIP
