Mountain Goat Joule - any demand?
I'm interested to know if there's any demand for Mountain Goat Joules and if so what would be a sensible price?
The bike in question is a 17" 1995 Joule which I've owned since new. It's been through a few changes over the years (including one respray when the 'Joule' stickeres weren't avaialble any more). It's now built up with a mix of new and old parts, including Marzocchi Z2 forks, XTR V-brakes, Hope Ti rear hub, 8-sp XT and a load of more standard stuff.
This actual bike was imported by sShokwave in Nottingham and was used for a short test in one of the UK mags (I think MTB Pro August 95). It's in generally good condition but has a few scuffs and scrapes as any bike gathers over 15 years.
The dilemma is that I currently use it as a road bike (sorry!) with my 2000 Santa Cruz Bullit doing the muddy duties. What I really need is a road bike instead of the Joule, but aside from the residual emotional attachment to the Joule, I've really got no idea if it would sell for enough to justify selling it (would have to make a big dent in the cost of a road bike!).
I can't find much at all about sales of Joules (not sure if that's because they're rare, or just not as well regarded as the Whiskeytowns), so I would welcome peoples opinions on whether there is any demand for them, and if so, what kind of price one might fetch?
Thanks, Rich.
