Is it just me, or...
...does it seem like Gary Fisher is trying to phase out their Sugar line of FS bikes? In 03 they had 9 different models. Now they have 3. However, the number of Cake models has shot up. Is Cake supposed to replace Sugar? I thought the two were intended for fairly different types of riding... -Joel -- JoelM |

I tried to find a sugar in my area and couldn't; every store that sold GF had only the cakes. They claimed that it was in response to consumer opinion ... the cake is more rugged/freeride-y, right? I dunno. -- monique "Get a bicycle. You will not regret it, if you live." -- Mark Twain |

I have seen these bikes out on the DH and FR and they can't hack it. Picking their way down yes but actually riding the features no way. Not putting it down but I think the "all mountain" bikes are just for people who want a reason to buy a new bike. A good rider could do anything the cake can do even on a SC Superlight. I know not everyone one is going to really FR and that is cool bt I think this marketing ploy is just taking advantage of the consumer. |
