just seen on ebay that firstflight are remaking a few mountain goats... That's right, the legendary Mountain Goat Cycles is making a come back. With the blessing of Jeff Lindsay (founder of the original Mountain Goat, circa 1981), we are having a limited number of frames made for 2006. The...

Would like a 21" Vitamin T. prefer just the frame, but whole bike considered.

i've been running magura hs33s for years, they stop well, but the rims don't last as long!! just changed the front to a disk... better in the wet. i would recomend maguras though... but again, use the booster!

south I'm in Portsmouth too

fisher cake 4 dlx I know its not particularly retro, but it was about to get converted to 8 speed with thumbies. Stolen from the top of Portsdown Hill while i fixed a puncture on a friends bike... didn't see a thing.

How many people out there are running XT or Deore thumbies with an 8 speed setup?
