Re:
Thanks for the comments all and I fee the same way. I regularly find myself stopping to stare at some detail point while crossing the garage. While I can't take credit for build or condition (except cleaning), I am a happy owner. Not quite enough patina for this months bike of the month, but there are a couple of paint chips in the pictures.
I put in some time on the Mombat website and think it is a 1986 model with a couple of hold overs from the 1985 bike including XT shifters and RM 25 rims.'
I agree with raidan73, I can just stare at the bottom bracket. In fact, I wonder if I should start a "Show us your fillet brazed bottom bracket clusters" somewhere on the site.
Thanks again for the interest and comments, NDA

If you're keeping score, mark me in the jealous category. Really nice find and unbelievable condition.

Re:
One question ,
Excuse me if this sounds a bit dumbass , bot looking at the headset , it's threaded , yet the stem/handlebar clamps on it as an A-Head stem would fix ?
It was built before my mtb interest , so I don't know much about the design . I'm curious ,

Re:
Hello Mike,
There is a stub brazed on to the top of the fork tube, above the headset, that the bullmoose bar clamps on to. I have seen them on some of the old Ritchey Bikes in pictures. The fork is noted in the MOMBAT specs for the 1986 Mt. Tam as "Cro-Mo w/ bar stub". I did not remove the bars while cleaning it up, but will try and pull them and take a picture soon. There is an old thread at MTBR regarding them: http://forums.mtbr.com/vintage-retro-cl ... 12476.html
