So I’m looking for a ‘Goat Gobbler’ chainring guide device, as almost the final part to complete the build of my 1994 Specialized FSR JMC replica .

Example pics and further info in the trail below.

The auntie is a graphic designer & pro photographer, could ask her to give it a go.

Worth a shot! Or maybe try and contact whoever posted that image on that web page..maybe they have access to an original print or even better the negative! It's the angle you need to recreate one faithfully the other two do help to get scaling. Seat tube diameter is a start point and then chainring tooth count is great base for dimensioning
But finding one is obviuosly the way forward

Yes it's a search term probably best used with safe search on too...

I might try get hold of this guy as also mentioned in this old post from 2013 by @boxxer :

Note the silver wheel on the top of the chainring - Andy Kyffin (Answer Manitou Importer and Spanner man for Steve Peat) designed "Goat Gobbler" as used on his RTS when he finished 2nd to Myles the previous year....

I think it's a case of chase any leads you can find...I've a feeling this is probably a part made in really small numbers and possibly only available toa few people at the time!
I'm now going down a GT rabbit hole looking for a goat.....god help me
