Wannabe Posted July 26, 2010 Posted July 26, 2010 What's the feeling about these frames? Still a good purchase 2nd hand (know the owner, bike well looked after)
Weight Weenie Posted July 27, 2010 Posted July 27, 2010 I love mine and seems quite a few of the 'privateer racing snakes' ride them.There seem to be some issues with the clear coat cracking though, so be aware of that.Had 1st frame replaced, 2nd one doing it as well.
Wannabe Posted July 27, 2010 Author Posted July 27, 2010 WW, is it only the clearcoat cracking, no other damage? (Superficial then?)
Weight Weenie Posted July 27, 2010 Posted July 27, 2010 That seems to be the case yes, apparently our UV rays are too much for the lacquer used
Wannabe Posted July 27, 2010 Author Posted July 27, 2010 Good thing, can be resprayed then. Is'nt the "Pro" a special series?
The expat cyclist Posted July 27, 2010 Posted July 27, 2010 I own a GT Zaskar. It is known to "crack" but this is mainly all cosmetic me thinks. Waiting for a replacement frame as mine is now "noisy".
Weight Weenie Posted July 27, 2010 Posted July 27, 2010 nah its a model - elite = slx, pro = xt, team = xtr or xx
mtb_Josh Posted July 27, 2010 Posted July 27, 2010 WW is your crack just clear coat? It looked a bit more serious to me?
Wannabe Posted July 27, 2010 Author Posted July 27, 2010 Tx WW. What would be a good price to pay for a 2008 model in excellent nick (frame only dunno if fork is included)
