Panaracer Timbuk II tires for your Goats

If anyone is interested in a natural skinwall tire for your vintage Mountain Goat, we have them back in stock. Details @ http://www.firstflightbikes.com/TimbukTire.htm

We have also had people run them on their current bikes and they really stand out nicely (especially on black wheels).

Here is what $10,000 worth of tires looks like!

Route 29 proto full suspension frame

The Route 29 FS bike finally got put back together after be painted. I didn't get a chance to take pictures before riding it so there is a little dirt on it (which is as it should be!) The paint is our new "Goatful Dead" and will be available on all models. Depending on colors, the paint will run about $699.

#9, #9?

This bike finally made its way back to us for "display". The paint is amazing (almost too pretty to use.......not really).

Latest Goat from the torch of Ted Wojcik. The frame, Vicious fork, Fox fork and Ritchey stem are on the way to Russ Pickett for a bamboo makeover.

1985 Mountain Goat Trials bike

The Trials model was designed for more extreme obstacle riding and featured a taller bottom bracket (13"), shorter chains stays (16.5") and a steeper head tube. This bike is fully fillet brazed including the high rise stem (there is also a 3/4" headset spacer to bring the bars up higher). Many Trials bikes would have only used a single or double chain ring setup but this one has a three rings.

Bullmoose changes

Since we've had some questions on them, these are just a sample pair which is mostly to confirm the dimensions. Changes will include:
-investment cast clamp (not stamped)
-680mm wide instead of 660mm
-much better miters (especially at the bar/strut intersection)
-slightly lighter tubing
-chrome plate

There is another sample in the works so stay tuned for details.

New production bullmoose bar sample

We've been tossing around the idea of having some new bullmoose type bars produced (AKA: Goat Horns). This was our first sample set and there are some things that need changed. These are the same dimension as the titanium versions we have been selling but will be substantially cheaper (110mm reach, 660mm width, 10 degree rise, 10 degree sweep). We have ordered a second sample with some revisions and in chrome plate. Let me know whatcha think.
