1990 Mountain Goat Browning Singlespeed

This odd frame was built by Mountain Goat for Browning, the company that developed the BEAST electronic shifting system that was licensed to Suntour. It was probably a platform to feature and test the Browning Automatic Transmission, and probably made an appearance at a bike show.  At its core, it appears to be a Whiskeytown Racer frame with no rear derailleur hanger, and some odd attachment points and brackets. This configuration makes it a good single-speed candidate using a White Industries ENO hub.  The build is purposely a non-Shimano affair: White Industries hubs, Ritchey levers, brakes, and cranks, White Bros. titanium handlebar, Suntour BB, and Mountain Goat headset. There isn't a lot of chainstay clearance, so the 2.35 tire used on the front wouldn't fit in the rear.
