I can understand the ovalisation at the BB stopping too much flex when cranking the pedals, but the ovalisation at the headtube should be vertical, shouldn't it, to stop too much vertical flex in the frame a bit like those lovely Max OR frames like Serotta et al. But I realise that this is a Mountain Goat style trait and is even more lovely for it!

The lighter pink looks like a 'pucker' rather than full-on smooch!
Makes me wonder whether they actually had someone kiss that thing all over. That would be a retro story!

Is that originial, or a modern Sycip? Beautiful either way.

I guess the title says it all--1990!! Now I'm really impressed. It's immaculate!!

Yep, I also remeber that paint job from the brochure. It looks stunning. I wish I could "stubble" across something like that.
IIRC they were about 1300 UKP or something at the time plus the paint. The Whiskeytown was about 1000 UKP.
The clue is in the name - deluxe ride from a compliance point of view due to the directional ovaliasation, plus a deluxe price tag!.
