Updates, we've got updates

Just a couple of quick Goat-related notes to let everyone know where we currently stand:

-Right now, we have 3 Goats at the painters: Darrell is getting a glorious coat of pink on the Hairy Kay, Sean is getting his Fox fork, Groovy Luv Handles and rims painted for the Ti Goat and my Goat FS is getting a coat of paint. On a related note, we got the Industry 9 hubs and spokes for Sean's Ti Goat. Silver hubs and spokes plus one blue spoke per wheel. Should be cool.

-The imported Escape Goat project is still on track, albeit the slow track. We have been working on finalizing the decals for the bike and tidying up some small details. It should be an exciting project and bring some Goat into a more affordable price range.

-The Grab On grips are now in stock and shipping. These are built to the same specs as the original grips and have been selling nicely.

-The second batch of Panaracer Timbuk II tires have been ordered but the date has slipped from March/April to April/May. There are only about 20 tires left from the original batch so if you need them before May, the sooner the better.

-It looks like Lynskey will be making us a batch of Ti bullmoose bars in the near future. I have been testing a set on the F-K-R and have really enjoyed them. Available soon (we hope) in 100mm and 110mm reach. Brushed finish $425 projected price.

-We've also been talking to Ted Wojcik about making some frames. Very cool guy and it would be great to have an East Coast builder. Things look good and we may be working on a sample frame soon.

That's about it for now.
