Anybody know when Fisher's handlebar replacement program started? I have several 1986 ProCalibers that have various handlebar configurations. I have sorted them into states -in the spirit of Beatles Yesterday and Today "Butcher Covers". First state is an original aluminum Bullmoose bar (painted to match the frame), Second state is a chromed chromoly replacement Nitto Bullmoose (never seen one painted to match), and Third State is a chromoly Rhyno (Nitto) quill stem with the alloy roller (sometimes painted to match the frame or black). I don't remember if Fisher extended the Bullmoose or Rhyno stem option simultaneously (rider's choice) or if the Bullmoose came first and the Rhyno came later. I know that my shop had a giant stack of unsellable at any price Bullmoose bars that came off of used and new bikes during 1987. Bullmoose bars were uniformly rejected in favor of the new Rhyno type standard that swept the industry in 1987.

That is a nice maroon color. I have a 1986/7 Mt. Tam in that color. Do you happen to know the name of that color?

I've pics to post, but BF rules prohibit newbies from posting photos. Maybe someday I will be permitted.
