In order to ensure your Mountain Goat frame will fit correctly, the following measurements must be taken by you or your local shop. If you are ready to order a Mountain Goat, just print the worksheet, do the measurements, and fax or e-mail us the completed form.  If you have a couple bikes that you feel fit well include the measurements from both.

Take each Measurement three (3) times to ensure accuracy!  It's best to have a friend help you.  Remember, the accuracy of our fit recommendation depends on the accuracy of the measurements you supply to us!  We ask that you take measurements to  1 millimeter accuracy. When taking measurements off your bike, make sure the wheels are on smooth and level ground, the bike is perpendicular to the ground, and the front wheel is pointing straight ahead.

Bike adjustments  If your saddle is pushed either all the way forward or all the way back on its rails, why is that? Were you trying to get more/less reach to the bar or trying to adjust your knees in relation to the pedals? Would you go even further forward/back if you could? How much?
Riding Style  Tell us a little about your riding style (i.e. you like to jump, race, climb, descend, single track, spin, epics, etc.)  Would you describe yourself as a "light" or "heavy" rider (Do you pick good lines? Are you hard on equipment?).
Existing Problems  Tell us about fit problems and concerns (i.e. back problems, too stretched out, too far behind the pedals, etc.) you have with your existing bike and any changes you would make regarding your future riding position.
