Just reassembled 2000 GT Zaskar (last year manufactured in the US). Seat will be added today. DT 240 hubs and decent, but not blingy parts. Weight < 22 pounds with seat, and may put on NOS Ritchey carbon fork which will put in in the "20's". This will either be a back-up bike or leave the quiver. What's it worth?

I realize the members are road-oriented, but has anyone sold a Zaskar lately?

Being a 26er, it is going to have limited appeal because many are wanting 29ers. Then there is the lack of any suspension. So as a mountain bike it is limited. Now as a gravel bike, it will generate some interest. Personally, if you are selling, I'd just leave the fork as-is.
I'm going to go out on a limb and say maybe $200 to $250 maybe. In my area there's no demand for GT's of any era as far as I can tell. Nice bike, but it seems to be sort of in-between when it comes to usefulness. Just my opinion.

Thanks; it's been a fine workhorse over the years as an SS with magic 32/20 ratio as well as an all around off road bike. I thought that since the frame was manufactured in the US might add value. If that's all it's worth, I'll keep it. Hard to believe the (Trek-labeled "240" hubs haven't been serviced in 20 years. Each has had a couple of new rims laced in.

I think the estimate above is a good one. Not to take away from the bike in its day, I think it just gets lumped in with all the other 90-00s MTBs before suspension, 29s and discs.

Side note... I never understood the appeal of a radial-laced MTB front wheel. I was a less-than-graceful single tracker and just don’t think they would have survived me.

It may just appeal to the right person, for all those reasons, 26in, no suspension, the best old school technology 2000 had to offer.

And made in the US really should count for something.
