Sold 86 Mountain Goat Whiskeytown Racer C/W Biscuits! £760 POSTED £700 Collected

[Matt-k]

With regret I have decided to part with this excellent machine.
Beautifully responsive frame & original forks designed by Jeff Lindsay in California & built in house by his small team in 1986. Still sporting it's original paint with some scuffs & chips as expected, actually a lot better than you'd expect from a bike of this age with No cracks or dents.
18" I'll double check this!
Ok, so I found some info in a 1988 catalogue which states the measure the bike from Center BB to Top of top tube which would make this a 19" frame. I'll add pics.

86 Mountain Goat Whiskeytown Racer

Picked this one up earlier in the year, I won't call it a build thread as its mostly complete with only a few parts needed so it's more of a refresh really! The bike needed a good clean and degrease but once done the frame looked in great...

That's really lovely. Such a shame you have to part with it

Gutted for you that you have to sell this classic specimen. I remember how chuffed you was when you first messaged me about it .
I hope it finds a decent home Matt.
Best of luck with the sale mate

I know its been a hard decision, especially after riding it so much these past few months, I genuinely never expected it to ride so well. But winter is coming & I don't ride old steel in bad weather plus I've run out of space now I've inherited a 1979 Benelli. The reasons to sell stack up and I have many other unfinished projects. Also I need cash for some new camera gear as I'm going to start up my wedding photography business again & good gear isn't cheap!
And I still have the other Goat Frame with many goodies ready to bolt on

A 1979 Benelli you say? An Sei by any chance?
