Gt tempest or zaskar

[Bearded_Borg]

Hi guys.

Got me a Gt frame a while back. It looks like it’s a Tempest because of the stickers. But what I can tell Tempst’s are 7005 aluminum.

This one is 6061 aluminum and that’s where I get confused. So what du you guys think this is Don’t mind the parts on it, it’s going to get other stuff on.

As I have just picked up a 16" GT Tempest frame, mine has 6061 stamped in the dropouts too.
