Technically you’d be a 18 size but with a long post you will be ok.

I’d want way more inserted on any frame to be honest.

They are a 27.2. Usually Zaskars are pretty robust. But 98 is the most common with cracks out of all the years. However that doesn’t mean that they are all bad. Just best to be slightly more careful Frame is a 16 inch so would suit someone upto 5.10 at a max.

I’ve had many many Zaskars mainly purchased from old guys who “only rode to the shops” and I’ve had 3/4 cracked 98 ones. It was a weak spot when they moved to the integrated seat clamp design unfortunately. Make sure you have lots of seat post inserted

I’d also check carefully around the seat clamp / top tube junction for cracks. Unfortunately 98 was the only year that seems to have this issue.

Yes there are various people who do them. However they aren’t 100% correct. If your decals are decent I’d certainly keep them.

Yes that’s a 98 LE. I had one new in 1998 with that decal colour. I’m still hunting a nice one down to recreate my old build from back in the day

It’s a Chiskar

It would be second version which was 94 MY. 93 had the steel rear , brake roller , and different cable routing.

Bet I’ve got 20-30 sets of V12s , XT spds etc but none are fitted. Much easier to store without them and it’s not like I’ll be riding it

As a few other builds come to an end. I can start to look at the Dekerf The frame will be painted , but I’m torn between a candy red (slightly lighter than the OE paint) or a candy magenta. In terms of spec I’ve a few bits left over from other builds already which suit. I’m thinking M952...
