---- ===== 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. https://mmbhof.org/jeff-lindsay/ \\ \\ 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.

Mountain Goat would become known for some of the most elegant fillet-brazed frames with the most exotic paint jobs. [[http://www.vintagemtbworkshop.com/1990-mt-goat-deluxe.html|vintagemtbworkshop]]
