Whiskeytown Racer             Route 29             F-K-R              Road Goat          Custom

 

Now available in TITANIUM.  $2,499

Each frame can be fully customized for your needs but we have designed the following as the stock Route 29  frame.  The cost of the standard Route 29 frame will be $1,399 and will be constructed with the following features:

 

Reynolds 725: heat treated Cro-Moly tubing main frame.  The Chrome-molybdenum steel is an industry standard similar to the 753 range of tubes and uses both seamless and welded raw materials for this range. The heat treated Cro-Moly is precision mandrel butted  and is offered in a wide range of tube sizes. This material is ideal for TIG welding . 725 is a material that allows thin gauge, tight tolerance tube, providing maximum weight saving for competitive use.  Reynolds doesn't make a down tube long enough for the Route 29 so we will be using Columbus for the down tube.  All frames use a 27.2 seat post.
 

 

Wishbone seat stays by Columbus:  A classic Mountain Goat feature that allow for shorter and stiffer seat stays while increasing tire clearance for most 2.3" tires.  Columbus has been making quality bicycle tubing since 1919. 

 

 

Head tube reinforcing collars:  Another classic Mountain Goat Feature that puts a little extra material in a high-stress area.  Head Tube:  1 1/8" to fit modern suspension forks.  Geometry is based on an 80mm travel fork.

 

 

Paragon Disc Brake Mounts: are standard.   If you would prefer to have both disc brake mounts and "V" brake mounts, cost is an additional $75. 

 

Standard finishes: will be a Team Green (RAL6018), Team Orange (RAL2004), Dirt Brown (RAL8007) or Night Blue (RAL5022) powder coat. Since monitors will render colors differently, go to your local paint shop and ask to see the RAL numbers listed with each color.  Other colors are available on a special order basis (please provide the RAL #).   We also have the ability to replicate the old school Mountain Goat paint schemes through Russ Pickett who originally painted the frames.  These are individual paint jobs and will be quoted per job but figure between $250 and $850 depending on style.

 

Decals: Two decal sets are available for your Route 29.  The first is white lettering with a black outline that looks great on the lighter colored frames.  The second set is black lettering with a gold outline that looks nice on the darker colors.  Click on the image to the left for a better view.   When ordering you frame, let us know which color decals you prefer.

 

Geometry

Route 29 frame size is measured from the center of the bottom bracket to the top of the top tube where it intersects the seat tube.  Since the top tubes are sloped, the top tube length is an "effective" length as measured parallel to the ground.  For custom geometry, check out the custom sizing page.

Size (c-t) Head Tube Angle Seat Tube Angle Top Tube (Effective) Bottom Bracket Height Chain Stay Length
16" 71 73 22.75" 11.85" 17.5"
17.5" 71 73 23.6" 11.85" 17.5"
