I have a pair of gary fishers. My first Mtn Bike was a 2000 Big Sur, and I got a 2003 Sugar 2+ with Disks in December 2002. I love them both!! Genesis Geometry fits me very well, and both bikes have handled my lack of skill and finessewithout any trouble. I recently painted my old Big Sur black, and upgraded to avid disks, and a Marzocchi MX comp with ETA. I'll post some pics when I get a chance. Later, Sasquatch
Got an '01 Sugar 1 (now called the "Team") and two '00 X-Calibers. The Sugar is set up as a 7spd (34x11-32) with 195mm cranks. Let's see... does this new board support HTML?
Thanks for allowing me to use your post as a test. So multiple images that are attached can appear as photos in a round about way--edit the post after attaching.

Let's here from all the Fisher owners...
I've got two of them...A 2000 Sugar3 and a 1999 HooKooEKoo....
Both bikes are going strong and I'm riding them 5-6 times a week no major incidents...
I've got 2 Fishers.A 2002 Marlin with lots of upgrades and a 2003 Sugar 3+ disc.They're both great handling bikes.I love the way Genesis geometry feels.Sorry I don't have any pictures.
Those look really good on your Sugar...but then again, they look good on every bike. Too bad they went out of business.

the fork came off my other bike so i chucked it on as anything would be better than the RS judy that was on there. It's set up with loads of sag so it's not too chopper like plus you've got the ETA if you are climbing but i use this bike mostly for street, trialsy type stuff so it's sweet for that.
I had similar troubles with my Paragon. It also came with a judy which I realized I had to ditch after about two weeks of riding it. So I put a Black on it (I now have an 80 mm fork), but the 100 mm just messed up the steering too much and I didn't even need that much travel. I can't imagine using 125! But if it works for you, thats what counts. If I can bum a camera off of a friend, I'll post mine up here sometime.

Oh, and it's my first shot at multiple pics, so it might not work.
Here are a couple of pics of my '03 MtTam 29er in Moab, and pic of the MtTam and the wife's '02 Supercal29.
I also have a very old HookooEkoo--you know the purple one.
i have one fisher 04 tassajara, and plan to get a more race oriented bike to move up to the sport men category, either a new 04 ziggurat, or a new 04 sugar race, once summer comes around and i can work again (i'm only 16).
I have a 2000 Sugar 3 with lots of upgrades and is now my racing bike. I also have an old '92 Paragon...all rigid. I turned that into a somewhat road bike. No pics though. I'll take some soon and post them 'cuz the old Paragon is a sweet light-bright orange. So bright, I really don't need lights at night.
Its a Sugar 3 2001 added disc brakes and lx crank just love to ride it , has survied Downieville , Priest rock trial and most trials around Sanjose and bay area got about 3000 miles on her now and still is the sweetest lol .
Here is my 99 Kaitai. It is my tweener bike, between the days I ride the Turner and the Road bike.
Large Frame
Sid XC Fork
Avid brake levers and v-brakes
LX Hubs and Velocity Wheels
WTB Nanorapter Tires with Airlock Tubes
Terry Fly Saddle with Pazzaz Seatpost

Great bike, only original items left are the Frame, rear derailler, shifters and headset. Ready to roll with the Airlock tubes comes in at about 25-26 pounds (which is fine for the 225 pound rider).
i ride a giant rainier and my dad has a sugar 4+. compared to my bike, on a longer ride the genisis geometry feels kinda crappy for me, thats my $.02. i guess thats why I bought a Giant
