I agree with Klein (I've never seen a Klein out riding around), but come over to north america and observe the popularity of Fisher mountain bikes! Particularly on the west coast they're quite common. Probably more common than cannondales with the lefty-type fork, and other major brands. Ask any MTB rider in BC their opinion of Fisher frames...
Is Fisher seen as more of a uncommon boutique brand in the UK? Shops in WA state sell the full range from $350-$3000.
