1997 Gary Fisher Nirvana
Back in 1997, marketing mavens at Fisher called this a Sport Utility Bike (s.u.b.). It's essentially a 26" mountain bike with slicks. Its frame is triple butted steel, with steeper geometry than most mtb's. It also has larger chainrings than most mtb's: 28/38/48. I changed the pedals and the seat, and added the front rack and basket.
I'm not sure how long Fisher went with the s.u.b hype. Probably not long, since I hear the bikes didn't sell very well. But I've been happy with it.
