@Retro_Roy :
Very nice bike!
Just 1 VERY IMPORTANT(!) thing:
Please use 4 screws with some bike fat for the bottle holder holes!!!
It's SO important - moreover that you're driving a 30year + STEEL frame around in the mud/wet weather, conditions....
The way it is now, = with OPEN HOLES humidity / water / mud etc... can enter the frame through the holes and wreck HAVOC inside the frame-
rust - corrosion and at one point the frame is lost.
Unfortunately too many frames were lost this way.

Nice! - Love it with all those funky mid 80s parts - Día Compe 982 and shimano 600 headsets. I have the same Suntour levers - nuclear-proof.

Maybe nuclear proof,
but at the moment definitely not water-proof with 4 open water bottle holes!

thanks for the tip. bolts are on the way as of today. i won't be riding it again without them.
i wanted to get it out for a test ride. as you see the weather was spectacular.

Damn, that's nice ! And my old Goat stem looks perfect on there...even a colour match !

 

[Retro_Roy]

many thanks ferghus for that contribution. the paint scheme on it does work.
plus i found a rattle can red that was close. i am happy with how it all turned out.

My pleasure, Roy - I'm happy that worked out. Very tasteful build and the silver components are spot on !

@Retro_Roy , beautiful build you have there. I’m pretty sure I bought the fork and stem that originally came with your frame.

I have a similar story, I first bought the fork and stem as a set from a seller on Facebook.

Separately, I also picked up a raw mountain goat whiskey town racer that was in dire need of a paint job. I had Rick at D&D paint the frame to match the fork and the result is as you see it here…

 

[Retro_Roy]

well how about that. i hope you do a build thread on here. love to see what you do.
your stem appears to be a ritchey, not a mountain goat stem.

It’s a nitto stem, came with the fork…solid red paint matched to the fork.

And yes, I’ll post a build thread for this one, I’ve gifted this one to my son and we’re going to build it together.
