Hi all,
Well, I've owned my Mountain Goat from new and was a birthday present from my parents when I was 16 or 17 to replace my 1988 Kona Cinder Cone (which I still have)! The frame came from a shop in Essex called Channels which was run by one of my Dad's clients and was one of two frames they had.... The other was raced by their mechanic and was the maroon/yellow splatter from memory. Anyway, I'm pretty sure both originally came through Shockwave into the UK.
I've used this as my main bike pretty much non stop since then and still do today! It's getting a bit of a makeover at present as it needs a new chain, cassette, cables and a blimin good service but can't wait to get riding again
.
It did originally come with the colour coded RockShox but I seemed to have a habit of breaking them (3 sets) despite my rather weedy 9st weight.
The only pic I have at present (taken last year)....
