Mountain Goat Whiskeytown Racer

Steel hardtail built for shop founder and MTB Hall of Fame inductee Jeff Archer

This is the first Mountain Goat built after First Flight bought the trademark, and Jeremy Sycip built it for Jeff Archer himself, a month or so before the one he’d build for Wes. It wears Team Reverse Splatter, the mirror image of the orange-and-green splatter paint Mountain Goat’s factory team bikes were known for, and rolls on Ritchey Z Max tires reissued specifically in a MOMBAT edition, a quiet nod to the mountain bike museum that used to share this building. Chris King runs the headset and bottom bracket, Phil Wood the hubs and spokes, and the handlebar is a titanium Goathorn made by Lynskey, no stem needed.
