The Zaskar 9′r looks sweet. So does the GT Marathon 9′r but G. Ted didn’t like it. Would love to see a review of the Zaskar 9′r from you G. Ted! Any word yet on when the bike will be available in the U.S.? Thanks.

Thanks GT. Hindsight I wish I would have asked: is this the “Big Ripper” ? Because after I clicked ‘Submit’, I had a feeling that bike was NOT the “Big Ripper” .

Thanks for the clarification!

AC: Actually, that pic is from the NAHBS and is a De Salvo custom version of a Quadangle. The Big Ripper will have a more conventional double diamond frame layout.

I’m loving the BMX 29er thing, so I cannot wait to see the “Big Ripper” I’m actually building up a Monocog to be BMXer/Dirtjumper. Should be fun …
