86 Mountain Goat Whiskeytown Racer

I've always like the look of these old Hite Rite's but finding one in good order might be a problem.
Think it would go well with this Goat..?

Definitely screaming out for a Hite-Rite!

Also: this thing is completely perfect!

I really like that seatpost. Nice choice.

And the tires.

And just about everything else you've done with it!

I agree it should be entered into this month's BOTM.

It's got my vote.

I would like to know the geometry numbers of this bike. It´s a race bike of the era. Head and seat angles seem ahead of it´s time while the long chainstays give the bike stability and comfort. I prefer slightly longer cstays.

Oooof. Fabulous thing. I've always wanted one of these, as might be fairly obvious!

NOS Hite-Rite on the way

If you need a Hite Rite.. if you like using it or if you plan to ride steep terrain w/ this bike then get a Hite Rite. Get it if you need it otherwise it becomes a fashion, decorative statement. Leave the HIte Rite which is scarce, for someone who will use it. Form must follow function. There.. i said it.

Hite-Rite arrived today However my quick release bolt isn't long enough to fit it
