Had these forks for a while and they match the frame nicely so I've fitted them along with a hope headset. The internals are rubber elastomers... Old school, no spring air or oil!! But they've perished an I need to change them at some point.

Awesome colour Sean looks promising. Is it still possible to dig up a decal set for that year ?

Looks great! How are those manitou 4's working?

I just got done fixing one that was stuck solid. Amazing what some eBay manitou grease and some rubbing alcohol will do. Good as new now after replacing a few elastomers.

some of the more useful bits i got with it
1993 4 GT Zaskar. just out the box. still needs to be cleaned polished etc

i removed the decals and sanded the frame down with rough grade paper to remove the scratches
I removed the graphics and after a week of sanding out all the scratches with rough grade paper this is basically where im at. its nice and smooth and ready for some fine wet and dry polish
