A couple of questions about early Mountain Goats

After reading jimi911s most enjoyable write up about his 1983 Mountain Goat Deluxe I now have an unhealthy and potentially expensive interest in them particularly the early fillet brazed frame with the cast fork crown as in this article. Firstly were some or all of them bespoke back then? I ask as I like a short top tube as the one in the article but some I have found photos of appear to have a longer TT on the same size frame which I would want to avoid.
Secondly are there many in the UK? I did a search and found that a few had been posted in the ebay watch thread so they are out there but seem to be less common than something like a Roberts White Spider.
Any help appreciated.
