Hi Guys,

I haven't posted here in a long time - mostly because I'm too busy to
ride and not able to use a Vandeman-filter but I thought I'd pass
along my condolences on the loss of a great man.

Fischer was world-known for his frames.

What a tragic loss.

A) You spelled his name wrong; and B) what the hell are you talking about?
Google and MTBRetards have no info on this.

Otherwise, great post...

Sorry, I don't own one of his bikes so I don't exactly remember how
to spell it.

It's been all over the news here about his death. Apparently, he was
more famous than I thought.

How long are you going to string this dolt along. He obviously is not
literate enough to read through an entire news article to get a story
straight. No need in making the retard spread the wrong news across
the entire world.

So you basically heard or read the title of the article and left it at
that. READ THE WHOLE THING AND SEE WHAT AN ASS YOU ARE MAKING OF
YOURSELF.

He was an anti-American anti-semitic ASSHOLE! No big loss here and a
computer can do what he did, better.

Wow. When I posted hear back in the day Vandeman was the only

I can't imagine why you would call him anti-American. I'm pretty sure
he never outsourced his manufacturing to Taiwan like all the other
frame builders.

Anti-Semitic? I don't know anything about that.

Sure, a computer can design great frames, but it's the man behind the
computer that is the innovator.

He was just that, an innovator.

Frustration with the lack of comprehension of some posters. You're
