Very light, Very fast..Only fault V-Brakes, which could be remedied by adding a A2Z uni adaptor to enable Disc brake use.

Just fitted an XT Hollowtech II BB, Deore LX chainset, XT front mech & Ritchey WCS seapost. It's now a much lighter bike. I have replaced the 120mm kore stem for a 100mm Bontrager - but may yet switch back to the Kore

whooooh .... a Zaskar, what a great bike, now those bikes are build to last. very nice.

I agree it's a stunning bike. The Zaskar LE's were better, being made from Easton ultralite tubing. This one would benefit from more modern / decent kit to lighten it up, but I'm currently busy upgrading My 2 Kona's at the mo.

I have the polished chrome version of your bike, These bikes are fantastic and should not be compared to your halfords cheapo gts. light and as stiff fantastic uphill. im doing very well with kool stop Salmon vpads at the rear + avid bb7/hope floating disc /organic pads disc setup at the front.

I know what you mean, these were the bees knees back in the day. Gt zaskar was the one of the best top-end Alu XC race frames. Gt Xizang? was slightly better being made from titanium. Not to be confused with the mass produced Taiwanese GT's, this baby was hand built the good ol' US of A.

Very similar, but made from 6061-T6 butted tubing, handbuilt XC race frame (actually built in the USA, not Taiwan)
