Pretty cool. Written by Gary Fisher himownself. We don't currently have bike rag road testers that go out for seven hour rides. I rode one of these for a racing season, and don't recall it as fondly as Gary lets on. It was, under my largish butt, a noodle. I got used to riding downhill with my knee bracing the top tube to keep the wildly oscillating front end pointed in the necessary direction. All of that said, this bike is one on my "wants" short list, just because it looks sooooo cool.
