Goat Horn bars are on the water

Our new Goat Horn steel bars are finally heading our way. I put one of the samples on the proto Escape Route frame and have been riding them. I do like the little extra width on them, especially when riding single speed. For those you missed it, these are the old style bullmoose bars that were standard on the early mountain bikes. We have updated them to fit the current 1 1/8" threadless setups. 110mm extension with a 10 degree rise and 10 degree sweep. Chrome plated so they will match any frame color!

Escape Route imported frames

This is a project that we started over 2 years ago and we have finally seen pictures of the sample product. You don't realize how many decisions have to be made when you start a project like this. Colors, model name, logo design, sizes, decals, wheel size, cable guide placement, head badge.......never ends. As soon as we make "final" decisions, three more things pop up.

This whole idea started when we had a fair number of people really liking the Goats but just couldn't come up with the $3K+ that it usually took to buy one. You can't buy a $1500 frame and just put mid-grade stuff on it. The solution was to make the same frame but make 100 of them at one time and have them made overseas. With the same quality of the USA made frames but at about half the price. You lose the option of customizing your geometry and color but that is still available on the USA made frames.

Basic spec:
-29" wheel
-black with cream or orange with green
-4 sizes
-sliding dropouts for single speed or geared use
-80/100mm travel compatible
-double butted cro-moly tubing

We hope to have the samples in hand soon and put some miles on them to confirm the details are where we want them.

December 2009 updates

Just a few quick updates on Mountain Goat products:
-Jerseys are in and they look great! Long sleeve and short sleeve, pictures soon.
-Purely Custom sent us a new batch of cool anodized goodies. Restocked all colors of the head set spacers and top caps plus we added some really cool bar end plugs!
-Goat Horn bullmoose style bars are now officially on order. Sample #3 looked great so we are ready to get them made.
-I have actually seen pictures of the front ends of the Escape Route imported 29" wheel frames. This has been a long project but hopefully coming to fruition in the near future.

1984 Escape Goat

Here is one from the archives. When we picked this one up, the original owner had done some sanding on the original silver finish (which didn't look like it was in that bad of shape) so it needed redone. We took it to our local powder coating place and had them match the original finish. Most of the parts were in decent shape so we just cleaned them up. We did replace a couple of parts with the same part just in better condition. Overall, I think it came out nice.

Goat updates

Just a couple of quick updates on Goat projects:
-Sample Escape Route frames are in the works. Can't wait to see 'em!
-Goat Fink disc gold discs have been delayed due to a shortage of colored discs. They are supposed to be n stock around the first of next year.
-We have approved sample #3 of the Goat Horn bars so they should be in production soon.
-New shipment of Purely Custom head set caps and spacers have been ordered and should arrive soon. All colors will be back in stock again.

Couple of neat vintage Goat projects under way as well. Pictures soon.
