Are you sure of the origins of the frame? The finish is a Dupont Alesta Gold Vein polyester powder coat that was not available at the time of the frames date code.
Salut Rody, I think it's a original.
The frame comes from the general German importeur for Goat in the 90.
He 's got only two frames from Golden Goat
I find that description by Monbat:
"The Golden Goat comes only in a "Copper Vein" powder paint finish, so no paint options are available for the Golden Goat"
