  1. Hi Guys,

    I haven't posted here in a long time - mostly because I'm too busy to
    ride and not able to use a Vandeman-filter but I thought I'd pass
    along my condolences on the loss of a great man.

    Fischer was world-known for his frames.

    What a tragic loss.

    a.

    A) You spelled his name wrong; and B) what the hell are you talking about?
    Google and MTBRetards have no info on this.

    Otherwise, great post...

    Sorry, I don't own one of his bikes so I don't exactly remember how
    to spell it.

    It's been all over the news here about his death. Apparently, he was
    more famous than I thought.

    So you basically heard or read the title of the article and left it at
    that. READ THE WHOLE THING AND SEE WHAT AN ASS YOU ARE MAKING OF
    YOURSELF.

    He was an anti-American anti-semitic [censored]! No big loss here and a

    I can't imagine why you would call him anti-American. I'm pretty sure
    he never outsourced his manufacturing to Taiwan like all the other
    frame builders.

    Anti-Semitic? I don't know anything about that.

    Sure, a computer can design great frames, but it's the man behind the
    computer that is the innovator.

    He was just that, an innovator.

    I can't imagine why you would call him anti-American.  I'm pretty sure
    he never outsourced his manufacturing to Taiwan like all the other
    frame builders.

    Anti-Semitic?  I don't know anything about that.

    Sure, a computer can design great frames, but it's the man behind the
    computer that is the innovator.

    Thanks man.
    I was real sorry to hear he passed away.
    I wonder if I'll still get that Frame on back order?

    I suspect the company will continue on without him.

    So I'll be able to get a frame?

    Cool...

    Maybe they have a special commemorative frame. Something I can
    hand down to my boy. I think Gary'd like that.
