Mountain Goat "Golden Goat"

That is very tasty.
Where do you keep getting all these mint condition uber-rare bikes from?

Do you have access to a time machine?

Oh for the love of Pete :shock:

Simply stunning! How do you find these bikes!

love the frame

The Golden Goat was one of MGs 'mid-range' frames (although of course all realtive ). I'd have though 7 speed XTII would've been perfect!

1989...hmmm... what exclusive parts were there on the market that were any better than Shimano XT or Suntour XCpro...?

I agree on the XT II components. That's 735 isn't it ?

730 is OK, but isn't that a (few) year(s) to old for the frame if you want to be period correct ?
perhaps I'm to much focussed on being period correct for this one...

I hope you keep us updated on this rare and beautiful find.

Mmmm… loving the look of that. Can't wait to see it built up!

(In addition to everything else)

I really dig the white American Classic seat binder---don't see too many of the seat QRs and those are my all time favorites.

great finish on that frame!

looks rugged and pretty at the same time.

Wonderful, somehow it takes the hammer effect paint that usually looks like a cheap attempt to hide something nasty and makes it look dead classy.

If you had told me about it I would have balked, but seeing the photos.. Yum!
