This week I made a massively important decision, one that has haunted me for a few years now. I decided to buy the new 2012 GT Zaskar Carbon Hardtail frame, as I have also decided to build up my dream bike from some of the components that I already have, along with a few from Santa's carbon wishlist.
This way it will definitely be cheaper than a new bike, and I get to choose the specific components that I want. Piece by piece, which I have always found is more exciting as each piece comes together you are so excited over every detail and you appreciate it more. I mean I would love to buy a whole new bike, but the bikes I want are not the ones I can afford! So I decided to make the big decision and start with the frame.
Next I will buy the fork and the wheels, light and fast - and then I will have a whole new bike and hopefully a whole new outlook on mountainbiking!
The frame is all black with only the logos in white, I must say I am a big fan of black in terms of sportskit colour. There is just something strong about it that says RACE! It will be my first foray into the world of carbon fiber, as I aim to build the lightest bike I can possible afford, if I can get it below 11kg that would be superduper.
