Regret

"Daddy, what does regret mean?"
"Well son, the funny thing about regret is,
It's better to regret something you have done,
Than to regret something you haven't done."



I regret not buying more of these...

The Fisher Superfly is one of the best values out there. $3299 gets you an X0 equipped race rig with a G2 Fox F29 RLC. At 23 lbs, it's competitively spec'd and priced against just about anything out there.

These have been very hard to come by, and I imagine that having two side by side, will be a rarity this season.

"And when you see your mother this weekend,"
"Be sure to tell her...."

New for November

Despite the rolling roller coaster of e-gremlins, we have been getting a lot of things done at the shop. With winter approaching, traffic through the door is slow, but traffic through the web is increasing. I never would have imagined that I'd be this busy during what some would say is a slow time of year.

Bring it on I say!

The shop is being tweaked to handle packing and shipping while the repairs are slow. I hope to be able to offer even faster turn around times on orders.

Here are some of the new bikes I have:


Just about all the '08 Fishers that matter.

I'll be posting a mini review of each of these beauties over the next few days.

Also, an update on the fabled "wool jersey".

Happy Halloween!


Who can guess which pumpkin is mine?

Fisher's New Hi-Fi

Gary Fisher Hi Fi Plus 29er 29 wheels=
New for 2008 is Fisher's trail proven Hi-Fi platform in a 29" wheeled format. This will make many folks happy, as you can now get a reasonably well spec'd full suspension 29er for right around $2ooo.

This model is the entry level Hi-Fi Plus. It has Avid Juicy 3 hydraulic brakes, SRAM X7 shifters and rear derailleur and the new Rock Shox Reba with G2 crown. G2 is Fisher's new geometry, which is intended to increase slow speed handling without giving up high speed stability. One of the key factors is to extend the crown of the fork, the stock Reba is 38mm, the G2 is 51.
Those that have ridden it off road, say it lives up to the hype.

Following this model, is the Hi-Fi Deluxe, and the Pro. I hope to have some of these in stock in the coming weeks.

Fisher has some rather exciting hardtails on the way too, most notably the redesigned Paragon, and the OCLV Super Fly.

I can't wait for that one....

Gary Fisher Ferrous 29er 29
I also took delivery of the elusive Fisher Ferrous. This bike has been very hard to get. Besides having really cool paint, it also has an eccentric BB, putting it in the ranks with the Niner SIR9. It too can be set up either geared or singlespeed. It comes with all of it's gears, but with the supplied derailleur hanger chip, can be made into a clean looking singlespeed.

When Mandy popped into the shop today, it was in the stand, and she said "Ooh!!!! What does that one do?" Fortunately for me, she already has a sick hardtail, and she is a girl that likes her gears...
Whew! Dodged that one...

It's an eye catcher for sure.
