Whiskeytown Racer in Dirt Rag #149

I've been writing a series of articles for Dirt Rag magazines which they call "The Specialty Files". Each month features a different vintage bike from the MOMBAT collection. I try to come up with a story for each bike. This month, I chose my Whiskeytown Racer which was the first bike from the "new" Mountain Goat Cycles, circa 2006. We chose parts that combined the new and old with thumbshifters on Paul Component mounts which shifts a 10 speed cassette. It also features our reissue Panaracer Timbuk II tires, Grab On MTN1 grips and titanium bull-moose style handlebars.
