Very nice bike mate, Like to see vintage Zaskars. I see you have disc up front, V's to the rear.. it's possible to get a frame adapter from A2Z, so that you can fit discs on the rear?. Mines a 99 Zaskar ( see buy/sell)(Ink blue anodised), XT & other sweet stuff.. to improve mine I'd like to fit a hollowtech II BB, & disc adapter to get lighter & up to date.

Thanks for comments. i have thought about the a2z rear disc adapter. At the moment i am running XTR Vs on the back with standard pads im unsure should i just get the best vpads possible or convert to disc.My hollowtech 2 was a massive improvement the old xt crank could flex so much it would scrape the front mech when pushed hard whereas the hollowtech is soild looks fantastic and saved my about 3/4 of a kg.
The bike weight is around 11kgs at the mo. which is lighter than my friends new HT bikes :) with the weight of a rear disc,adapter,caliper,mount and pads i could lose my title. :)

Over the years only thing that's not been upgraded is the frame. which is now polished to near mirror finish.
