zaskar_gap Posted September 14, 2010 Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 GT zaskar trials got me interested in trying out trial, but after calculation, it was cheaper to buy a used stock 26 bike rather than building up the gt zaskar trials frame up...What should i do? keep it as a ornament or just sell it? seems like the frame demanded a suspension fork to maintain an ideal bb height for trial.

Ben John - Hynes Posted September 14, 2010 Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 It's not a trials frame, it's an xc frame. I have one(as an XC bike, not trials). By today's standards they'll ride horribly, the frame will be too big and it won't be strong enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So i should just sell it? because i feel that the gt trial frame is too much of an mtb frame rather than a trial frame. i wouldnt be able to practice on one and apply it to a stock trial bike.

Ben John - Hynes Posted September 14, 2010 Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 Depending on which one it is you may be able to sell it for quite a lot, 'cause they're considered a classic now. But yeah, if I were you I'd get a "proper" trials bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zaskar_gap Posted September 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2010 well, when i bought it second hand for $350 frame only i thought it was a one of a kind frame, and mos def collectors item. but later on i found out that the bike store next door still have one brand spankin' new frame hanged up on the wall. with a price tag of $650. well i would rather buy a Yeti ARC for that price. I think i will build it up for hans rey sake. i do love GT, been riding GT since the early 90's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
