Brilliant. Great to see another Prometheus! Following with interest.

Tell my that's a Type 35! Always love your stuff. Most excellent.

1989

Unfortunately cracked head tubes appears to be a decent problem with these. No doubt contributing to the issues faced with finding them! I think I've seen pic's of your Celerity, have been thinking of doing a Fisher SS build as well. In fact until a week ago I was leaning towards that...

Backstory # 1 In 1990 after much deliberation and saving I purchased a six-month-old 1989 Peacock Blue Fisher HK-II because the original owner had decided to upgrade to a 1990 Fisher Supercaliber. As a result, a Supercaliber has always been on the radar. Trouble is they are not easy to find...

This is awesome. Amazing how different the "same" bike can be. My favourite "Mad Max Accutrax non disc"

New headset has arrived for this build. I have spent a few hours cleaning the frame, part of the backstory was it was left in the back of a shed for the best part of twenty years and to say it had accumulated grime is an understatement. JonTom had already done the first round of cleaning... as...

My mate owns the bike in the middle. Enjoyed your build thread thanks

Stunning. Chair installed. Loving that handlebar holder while in the stand. Genius.

Loving this! My understanding is that 88's also have a U-Brake under the chain stays? My image library pulls up this Mt Tam which the front half appears to be a similar finish with the hint of metallic sparkle, I always thought this was an 89 (logo and seat stay canti's) but colour suggests 88...

Thanks for sharing. Sweet bike.

Thanks. Plan is to build with M732 XT along with black post, bars and head set. They came out with Suntour.

With great thanks to JonTom.

Thanks. It's an awesome survivor and nice being untouched - it's rare that happens! Normally it's an ongoing development or EVOLUTION like below... Patina - This one has lived and nearly died and back on track. Original for sale advert: Before post and saddle swap. It never ceases to amaze...

Thanks. It's a Speed Defies Gravity saddle. Never knew much about them, only reference I have come across was a wanted add for someone searching for one with an image. It originally came to me attached to the large black CR-7 (Black Betty) with the black Kalloy post (now on violet-O-violet)...

Thanks! Decals appear to be from Factory so wonder what the story was there.

After last nights update it dawned on me that I hadn't ridden this gem! 1988 Fisher CR-7, made in Japan with 1inch headset, U brake, RM20's and Suntour XCD group in original survivor condition. Stunning day today so thought a good time for a test ride. Never seen "Factory Pilot" before...

Thought I should update this thread: Happy with those two. Will change saddle, wheelset and pedals for this one.

It's coming back to me now. 1993 I nearly purchased one! This got stolen (for the third time) https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/1989-fisher-hk-ii-nos.143697/ I was confident it wasn't going to be recovered this time, so I needed a replacement... After looking I ended up with a short list of...

Stunning bike.
