Today walking around town I saw someone ride by on a greenish-grey Gary Fisher bike that was absolutely gorgeous. I noticed it had the older, cartoonish font in dark grey, chrome flatbars, and a smaller (17-18"?) one-piece frame without shocks. It looked like a commuter bike but could have been a low-end mountain bike with narrower tires.

I've been looking all over on the internet for a picture to figure out what it was, but I haven't been able to find a match. Any idea what I saw?

Probably an Allant (based on the color). The current ones are badged Trek, though.

If the font was that weird '70s psychedelic-y stuff, then it would be further back though.
