19 GT Zaskar produced in January 1993 and hand welded in the United States. This is the holy grail and I spent a few years putting it together. Wifey says I only have one butt so to keep the piece I am selling one of my classic bikes.
The anodised blue finish was distinctly for the Zaskar in this period and helped with the lightweight reputation as there was no paint. As a result it can be in an awful state but you can see from the picks this one is awesome for a 27 year old. If you want to check its genuine you can see the hand welded FLAT engraved and not cast in plate on the rear of the top tube where it ends behind the seatpost. Verifiable serial number on the inside of the rear dropout. Also the alloy is 6061. That might not mean a lot but when this was made steel was still the lightest material around that was strong enough to race with. Aluminium was still a new thing and oxidisation during welding meant alloy frames only lasted half a season. GT had some specialist welders from the aeronautics industry who knew how to weld it WITHOUT making it brittle. This was therefore the FIRST successful aluminium race machine and it took the competition a few years to catch up.

Ive never seen a better one and Im a bit of an expert on GT from this time period. Postage cost is high as I will have to order and buy a box to post and then find a courier willing to collect. I am happy to travel and meet the winning bidder for a negotiated fee or collect in person from the vicinity of East Midlands Airport.
