Gary Fisher bikes any good?

Gary Fisher was made an excellent mountain bike. If they devoted the
same quality to their hybrids, it should be a good deall

I was just over at my brothers and I was looking around for something out in
the garage, and he has this pretty nice looking Gary Fisher hybrid / comfort
bike. Actually I noticed it there about a month or so ago too. But this time
I looked at it more closely. It looks like a pretty decent quality bike. It
has 700 c wheels, dual pivot brakes, 21 speed Shimano drive train,
suspension seatpost. I mean this thing looks like it would be a good city /
commuting / light touring bike. Normally I would offer cash for it. But
after hearing the story he told me about, I have the feeling it might be
stolen property. I won't pay for something that is hot. But just curious if
fisher is a decent builder. I looked at thier website and couldn't really
get a read on the quality of the bikes. Also did an E-Bay search, and it
seems like there were more MTB listings with gary fisher in the title than
other types of bikes.

Gary Fisher is Trek.

Interesting little fact to file away in the "memory warehouse".

Not that there is anything wrong with Fisher being made by Trek, but are
original purchasers paying extra for the Fisher nameplate? I'm sure
there are some Fisher owners around here who would have some opinions.

One of my buddies has a Fisher Cake. Where does Fisher come up with
these corny names?

Cake huh? How about Pie? or "twinkie"??

Well until I saw this thing for the first time I never even heard of the
brand.

This one is called the "Tiburon"
