+===== Mountain Goat Overview =====
+Jeff Lindsay started with road racing with Gary Fisher which led to building road frames in 1972 followed by high quality mountain bikes starting in 1981.

+Mountain Goats were never cheap (($1,055 in 1983 [[https://www.mtbr.com/threads/official-mountain-goat-picture-thread.341069/page-5|mtbr]])) and today can command $10,000 and up for the best artistic creations.
+<blockquote>
+Mountain Goat would become known for some of the most elegant fillet-brazed frames with the most exotic paint jobs.  <cite>[[http://www.vintagemtbworkshop.com/1990-mt-goat-deluxe.html|vintagemtbworkshop]]</cite></blockquote>

+==== Production Notes ====
+<WRAP #prod1 />
+[1]. Probably less than 30 frames by 1983. [[http://mombatbicycles.com/MOMBAT/Bikes/1982_Mountain_Goat_Camo.html|mombat]].
+The Jan. 1982 catalog is complete, so business must have been productive.
+[[http://cbklunkers.com/pdf/MountainGoatcycles.pdf|cbklunkers]]
+\\
+<WRAP #prod2 />
+[2].  About 40 mountain bikes frames per year: "By June of 1987, [Jeff] made 100 racing frames, 75 touring frames, 250 mountain frames and 8 tandems."
