nice bike

I found a picture of the bike I probably enjoyed most of all I’ve ever owned:

1996 Fisher Nirvana, with many mods
It was originally a 19967 Gary Fisher Nirvana, but by the time this picture was taken, the only original things were the frame. the stem, and the beautiful curved bars. Everything else was swapped out, mostly due to wearing it out from my daily commute.

It wasn’t that it was a very expensive bike. It was just right; a nimble climber, nippy through traffic, yet stable enough to be ridden home when tired.

I still have the saddle; it’s on my Brompton. I gave the bike to Eddie Moore before we left. I wonder if he still has it? He still has it.

  1. I have one. Its on Gumtree if you want it. Bicycles / Oxford. £80?
    It has the original headset with tapered roller bearings. I am afraid I took the liberty of removing the shimano canti-brakes and fitting V brakes. (So much easier to set up).
    Cheers,
    Henry
