yah.. I'd always wanted a Zaskar. My first real mountain bike was a 1994 Karakoam - no shock - and built solid like a rock! But I drooled and drooled over the zaskar right next to it. Never could afford it...

as life went on and I got to be a better rider, on a full suspension... I still coveted the Zaskars, I could never justify the purchase.

Now... I just don't care and I can afford it. I have 5 bikes in my 'stable' and this one is my pride and joy. I built it myself, picked ALL the parts.

All it took was me to purchase a 2008 Zaskar Expert Disc (Taiwan Kinesis Built)


Wich I quickly sold to fund the build of this bike.

In the meantime... My first Full Suspension was a 1996 Trek Y33 - what a BLAST that thing was to ride!
As it so happens - I found a local guy selling his 1997 Y33 the other day on Craigslist for $100!!!

I couldn't pass it up
