We finally got pictures up of the only living example of a Mountain Goat BMX bike @ http://www.firstflightbikes.com/1997_Mtn_Goat_BMX.htm

Not an expert on BMX bikes but it sure looks a little differently proportioned than the typical BMX bike.

Yes, that does have odd geometry for a BMX bike. Seat tube looks really tall. Seat tube angle looks really steep. In fact, it looks like mountain bikeish in the geometry.

Now the real question. Is that a Mountain Goat built out of Jeff Lindsey's shop? Or is that an Altitude with a goat badge built at Altitude Cycles which Jeff "ran" with capital from a certain Asian frame making factory? Altitude Cycles was A-Pro's answer to Kinesis opening up Kinesis USA. Altitude stayed in business for a very short time.

......by Jeff's own hand

I did confirm with Jeff that he did make this one in the shop with his own hands. As to the geometry, Jeff says "It's a fully Stealth Geometry and very rare! That's why I didn't
make more. All the riders that raced it would have been booted for illegal
geo. Too scary fast you know." Now you know.....the rest of the story!

Prettry sure I recall seeing some F-1 bikes in Jeff's booth the year everybody was touting F-1 as the Next Big Thing. You remember those; 20" wheel set up for racing around parking lot cones by adults. High saddle, real low flat bar.

1989. Close but them F1 bikes were Funky with a capital F.

A frind had a Schwinn F1

Man that was one sweet machine. We modified that frame so many times to have it do many different things. Finally ended up welding on a seattube extention and using it as a TT bike with a massive chainring 60T or so and a 11-18 rear cluster with dual discs.
