We had posted a couple weeks ago about what bike to build up with a NOS parts kits. The parts were originally on a Fat Chance Wicked which seemed a little too "common". We also had a NOS Mountain Goat Deluxe and Mantis Valkyrie frames. The Mountain Goat seemed to be the majority choice so we got to work.

Everything on this bike is either NOS or extremely lightly used. Not 100% happy with the seat but it was close to correct and new.

You put those tires on just for me didn't you?

Nice build all around. Just don't go 'big-big' on the gearing or somethin's gonna snap! Pretty bike.

Downstairs is 5000 sq ft with 14' ceilings while upstairs is the same size with 10' ceilings. Space is good

So 10k sq ft then.

Wow how did you figure that out Rumpfy, that was like some hard math.

Hard to think that with that much room we are having to cram stuff in all sorts of crooks and crannies to make room. Now I just need to take better pics of the shop for the site.
