My original plan is just strip to raw, neat n clean looking hardtail. And then saw pictures of 90s Zaskar LE and RTS in raw polish. and poof! Retro inspired in modern build.
Bought it 2nd hand in FB market 3yrs ago. Suprisingly it is still 2009 GT Bicycles catalog spec. GT topcap, seat clamp and alloy pedals. Sram x5 complete drive train, Jalco DD32 rims and Formula hubs.
Chucker spec sheet from 2009 GT Bicycles catalog
After I got it I upgrade everything to make it more capable to Tr/Am riding
