Just learned of their existence, beautiful bikes. Does anyone on here have one? How are they to ride?

crazy-legs had one for sale a year or two ago, I think

How are they to ride?

I test rode a GT in 1991.
It was sluggish and unresponsive, so I bought a Kona
I rode another GT a few years ago.
It was sluggish and unresponsive.
I've given up on GTs.........

Didn't MBUK build one a few years back then give it away as a prize? Looked very nice.

Saw the MTB build for sale on pinkbike, wasn't up for much considering, looks like someone bought it though

the old ones were pretty damned harsh - in no way sluggish but fairly brutal IIRR

I saw a nice mid 90's example of a Zaskar flying down Barry Knows Best in the Surrey Hills today. The bloke was carrying an impressive amount of speed over the rough stuff considering what he was riding. Hats off to him.
