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⁾ 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. vintagemtbworkshop
