obike is clearing stuff at the moment... they don't actually sell you the bike, you order it and get it form a LBS that stocks obike stuff...

The zaskar and otero are totally different bikes.... The zascar will be over 3kgs heavier than the zaskar, and the zaskar will have far superior components.

This is because the otero is a dual sus and the zaskar is a hard tail... Think about exactly what you want and then decide. But at that price, there are far more (and possibly better) bikes!

Commiserations on your training thing and PMS. No brand hate, just spam and disguised advertising hate. In fact, I recommended a SB to a riding buddy on Sunday. True story.

So let's just be friends you angry orange pterodactyl you.

Sometimes you strike bargains on 2nd hand bikes as guys tend to upgrade their mtb's. Got a wicked deal on my Giant Trance.

Thats for the GT elite i suspect, my lbs have both that one and the silverback nabraska in stock, this weekend I am going to wheigh the two bikes at my lbs to see what the wheight difference is. Looking to get my girl a new bike.

 

Both are really good looking machines, same price though the SB is much higher spec'd component wise. Would be interesting to see what the differnece would be on total bike wheight.
