The Agressor basically is an Avalanche - last years Avalanche. There is more than one flavour ie the Expert has more butted tubes than say the 3.0. looking at 4.25lbs for a medium.
The Zaskar is a different kettle of fish - different geometry, designed for a shorter fork, Kinesis Superlite tubing and fully butted (all tubes). Weighs about 3.5lbs
The Zaskar Reissue uses Alcoa tubing based on the original.
The Zaskar carbon uses a full monocoque frame. Is designed to be stiifer, tougher, yet more comfortable than the alu one.0 -

Can't really see much from there, but I can tell you it is at least 15 years old.
Could be an old Bravado or Avalanche. I'd check it out very carefully!0 -
When you say check carefully do you mean for damage?
If i stripped it would it polish up ok?Cotic Soul

Yes, for cracks, dents, alignment. Also check the rear spacing, might not accept a modern 135mm hub if it is only a 130mm.
No disc mounts remember.0 -
Yup i know about disc mounts, would it be ok to build up as a sinlge speed?Cotic Soul
