Everyone should read the Bible more.

I'll stick with Nikola Tesla his writing far more exciting and much
more believable,the bible is nothing but poorly written fantasy ,Tolkien
did better.

Of course, lost in your precious little stab at the Bible is the fact
that there is quite a lot of fiction out there which is just awful, and
not fun to read at all.

Don't be dumb. Morons read the Bible too. I'm really tired of this
kind of ignorant slander against Morons. Take Mitt Romney for example:
just because he's a Moron doesn't mean he isn't a Christian.

fiction reading.

Romney can't be a Moron - he's only been married once.

I think you meant Trek made some frames with a longer top tube than
normal for some reason and Fisher's name on them. Oh yeah, and the
Trek full-sus frames with his name on them have a nasty reputation for
catastrophic failure at the bb shell.

I suppose that some of "his" older stuff (I'm thinking of the old
black/neon green/hot pink steel Supercaliber) had arguably better
paint jobs than standard Treks, especially when mated to the rough-
hewn and drab grey elastomer Manitou forks of the time.

How about a little respect for the departed?

Good grief, nobody's perfect.

Ok, I think there is still some confusion here. Bobby Fischer died, he
is a Chess player. Gary Fisher is still alive, he raced and builds
Mountain Bikes.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gary_Fisher

Hope this helps.

I appreciate the source, but we all know anyone can edit wikipedia.

I prefer to trust my mainstream media sources.

Which reminds me, I got my frame that was on back-order delivered on
Saturday last. I sat down in the garage and cried for awhile. My wife
came out and asked what I was upset about; I just told her that she
wouldn't understand. Thanks again for posting this; I have dyslexia
and can't much read, but I recognized the Fisher name and I always try
to read your postings.

It still makes me sad, too.

Enjoy that frame. They probably won't be that good anymore.
