Re:

The first picture of the "Mountain Goat" does no justice to the build what so ever, it makes it look like you merely assembled a bike.

When in fact after reading the thread, and looking at what actually happened, for me it symbolises what this love of ours is all about.

Cool Brand Cool Bike, COOL effort.

Re:

maybe you are right, but its hard to use only two pics to make clear what happens.

Re:

It can only be the Goat.

In terms of BOTM this has to be so close to the GOAT (greatest of all time). All too often we see self assemblies or NOS specials that never see a trail. It's like West Coast Choppers trying to pass of a bitsa special as a custom. This gets my vote, I ain't no silly billy.

Re:

Sorry chaps, I didn't want to sound like a 'hater' before. I've just described my route to biking nirvana: namely, buy frame, amass bits, build and polish. I just think the award should go to someone with real ambition, rather than just deep pockets. Thanks, H
