1989 Mountain Goat Escape Goat:

This looks to be a pretty early 1989 which still used the 6 speed Deore XT components (1989 saw the introduction of the 7 speed stuff).   The paint really makes this bike.  Aside from the bright multi color base paint, there is a selection of sharks, flamingos, dolphins, palm trees and even a beach chair and umbrella.  The paint originally added $300 to the base price of the bike. 

Beach chair, umbrella, shark and footprints from the top tube

Delicate looking wishbone and built in Hite Rite tab

Dolphin, Flamingo and shark from the bottom bracket area

Painted to match Mountain Goat stem.
