Old School Legend: 1989 Fisher CR-7 Mountain Bike
There are a few bikes out there from the early pre-suspended days of Mountain Bikes (pre-1990) that have rightly earned legendary status for their combination of ride quality, ground breaking design, and aesthetic appeal. Fewer still, were durable enough to be rideable today, twenty plus years on. This rare vintage Fisher CR-7 composite mountain bike frame (he wasn't Gary back then, just Fisher) is one such bike. It was raced by Fisher's Mountain Bike Team, praise was lavished upon it by every test rider that swung a leg over it, and it was considered the ultimate ride from one of Mountain Biking's first practitioners.
The main triangle is aluminum and the rear triangle is steel. The rear triangle bolts onto the front portion. Clever idea. This is the production version of the very rare Mantis XCR Composite frame designed by Richard Cunningham to exploit the merits of both materials. The fat aluminum tubing used for the front triangle of the frame is stiff due to the large diameter tubes, but it is impossible to use such tubes for the chainstays and seatstays without excessive crimping, so steel is used in those locations. The two materials cannot be welded so the rear triangle is bolted on using heliarced inserts in the aluminum and steel allen bolts
