Why shouldn't you get a frame because a chess player who's surname
sounds similar to that of a mountain bike builder has died?

It's a great loss to the chess world, I'm sure. What has this to do
with mountain bikes?

I wonder if anyone has told Gary Fisher that he's dead. It might make
him laugh. Unless he's a chess enthusiast, of course.

You really haven't got it yet? Or you're just trolling to see how many
people you can sucker into this false rumour you're spreading?

What the bloody hell are you wittering on about? Bobby Fischer died -
he played chess and had nothing to do with mountain bikes.

Gary Fisher is the guy who "made some great frames". He might have done
a bit more than that as well, and he might even have played chess for
all I know.

I'm not sure I understand the question. You may be having a laugh at
my expense. I've heard that sometimes the newsgroups can attract kooks
and I believe you may be one of them. Please get professional help.

Sorry????? Gary Fisher hasn't died. Bobby Fischer has died. Bobby
Fischer was a chess player, Gary Fisher is where your frame is coming
from. Do you understand now?
