Before it was knicked, I had a GT Backwoods. I loved it, and liked the feel and performance of the bike, and to be honest, I like the triple triangle design too, aesthetically.
My dream bike back then was a Zaskar, but it was always out of my price range. I've recently switched my allegeance to Trek, but I'd still have a Zaskar if it ever became possible, I think they're fantastic looking bikes."It's not about the bike, it's about what you do with it"0 -
Well said ;-)
I think most people in the 90s wanted one - the original hardcore hardtail that was strong enough for DH, trials and jumping yet light enough for XC, and looked the dogs nuts. Luckily I got one in 1998 and its still going strong The newer ones became more 'XC' but this is right back to the roots, and the carbon Zaskars look ace too. The legend is back ;-)0 -
Yeah, the carbon Zaskar is a stunner."It's not about the bike, it's about what you do with it"0

I remember the days of countless people writing into MBUK:
"I broke my bike again, what should I buy?"
"Zaskar."

Dependable little scamps.
Anybody know how many Zaskar X's were sold in the UK?Wheelies ARE cool.
Zaskar X0 -
Absolutely stunning, nearly finished my 97 Zaskar but is no where as shiney as that baby.
Since they've built a Carbon one I think they should make a Titanium one, now that would be nice.
SUPERSONIC while on the subject of Zaskars, what seat post does the 97 take as at the mo I have a 27.2 but that is well too tight so just ordered a 26.8, hope it fits, also what size BB have you got in yours.0 -
My 96 is a 26.8, though its and the 97 is listed as 27.0.
GT did do two Ti models, the Xizang and the Lightning.
Xizang:

SUPERSONIC that Xijang is nice and there is a Lightening on ebay UK at the moment, do you think if I have a 26.8 seatpost it will be ok as I was wondering whether to go for the 27 but then decided on 26.8 as the difference in sizes are so miniscule. Be gutted if I have to send it back to CRC as it's too late to cancel my order today :x0
-
Ideally you shouldnt be more than 0.1mm out. My bike came with a 26.8 so i always assumed that is what it was - though it is an LE version.0

Hey Supersonic, is this gonna crack like the original too? Just kidding, looks fantastic and I want one!0
