lucmccann Posted October 9, 2013 Share Those GT Zaskar Carbon frames are awesome! I know many people that swear by them. As for the rest of the components probably pretty standard for what you going to get in that price range for something brand new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musketeer Posted October 9, 2013 Share I just bought a Giant Composite XTC for a similar price with a similar component setup. These Zaskar frames are awesome, personally I wouldn't think twice. Aesthetically I don't like the white frame, but that is just personal taste.... if I had to say something negative Edited October 9, 2013 by Peetk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivr32 Posted October 9, 2013 Share I was leaning more towards the GT because of the colour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
