Yeah well, then we have the madness of Greg Lemond, who is the figurehead of another Trek sub-brand.
I don't agree that they're "homogenized" because of Trek ownership, they still produce fine bikes, and still get input from
someone, if not necessarily Fisher himself, because they've come up with plenty of good ideas and very nice bikes since Trek bought them up. (The 29er for instance, that seemed like a terrible idea a few years ago, but it seems to be catching on more and more.)
It's a good company, so's Lemond, for that matter. Whether or not you like the guy who's name is on it is up to you.
