Modern mfg tech applied to classic race design & functionality. The paint doesn’t do much for me personally, but only because the similar original Mountain Goat “strings” paint job from 20 years ago looked a lot cooler on a black backdrop too, than it did on a sunny afternoon after a season or two of UV fading. Still, nicely done.

Do you know of any bikes that have glow in the dark paint?

They must have meant to spec the thumb shifters ironically. The photography is nice, but I’m not sure I’d want to go off road with v brakes and painted rims.

Riding position is very 1990s. Expensive paint job for sure… I don’t want to be negative, it’s nice and all, but there’s nothing unique here aside from perhaps the hype. Am I missing something?
