1993 Mountain Goat Mudslinger
This bike is not for sale. The bikes and parts we currently have for sale can be found on the MOMBAT for sale page.
This bike was the prototype for the Mudslinger
model and was the personal bike of William Jeff
Lindsay (founder of Mountain Goat Cycles).
Aluminum is generally not thought of as a material
for the smaller builders who typically build steel
frames. By the early 1990's, aluminum was
being used by many large scale bike makers because
it was perceived as a lighter and more current
material than steel. It would make sense for smaller
makers to give the material a shot, especially when
Easton introduced their premium ProGram tubing.
Mountain Goat went one step further by CNC machining
upper and lower stay yokes for the rear triangle of
the frame. These were referred to as the
Towers of Power and lent a unique look to the frame.
Original MSRP for frame only was $1560.
Interesting parts on this one include Magura
hydraulic rims brakes, Cook Bros. Racing cranks and
the Mountain Goat Granola Bar ends. The decals
look to be samples printed on a vinyl background.
The handlebars are special edition bars from the
1993 Whistler Mountain Bike Symposium. Haven't
seen another pair of the handlebars anywhere else,
probably not a common item.
