This is an amazing frame as everyone who has ridden one will agree. Very responsive so excellent on a bit of single track. It was equipped with full Shimano XP and Manitou Mack 5 forks. </br> </br> The next move was to a Cannondale, another hard tail, it had a built in head shock. Another great aluminum hard tail frame. </br> </br> Finally it was back to a GT Zaskar frame this one was again built on Shimano XP but with Marzocchi forks. This was all stopped on the trails by magura hydraulic rim brakes. - Another excellent bike. </br> </br> Thats about it... for now! </p> http://www.muddybikeuk.com/blog/default/2008/11/21/1227266640000.html#comments http://www.muddybikeuk.com/blog/default/2008/11/21/1227266640000.html Fri, 21 Nov 2008 11:24:00 GMT
