GT Zaskar

Another purchase during my time working for Bike Tech. The Zaskar was purchased for a very reasonable price - it had a slight manufacturing defect - and built as a hack bike. Used it for a winter and most of a summer. Rode well enough, nothing special though really, felt a bit dead. Sold after a few months when I realised I'd be better running my old (and much classier) Cannondale as a hack and getting the money from the Zaskar to put towards travelling.
Rather shamefully I ran a Tioga Disk Drive Pro on it right through the winter. Absolutely wrecked it.
