Your input and ideas are very much appreciated. a closer comparison would a 1992 Chevy Cavalier and a 2001 cavalier. sentimental value doesn't translate into actual monetary value. We're not talking about a FatCity BuckShaver here. A 21 speed fully rigid mountain bike with an aluminium frame and mid-range components of the period. It could be NOS shape and sitting in a bike store still and it'd be hard to get $500 from any buyer today. I will need a new bike, or at least a 'new to me' used bike.'Īnd well, he's delusional if he thinks that pre-trek fishers like his are really collectible to anyone, or that its worth more than $500 today. I'm heartbroken that the bike I have enjoyed so much is non-repairable. I seem to recall the last time I checked an identical bike on eBay, the value was much more than $500. Collectors like to see original condition pre-trek bikes and bid them up considerably when they go up for auction. 'I have seen a few of these pre-Trek Fisher bikes on eBay. Checking ebay for completed auctions of supercalibers and I find this one is the closest to yours (being a 26' format, in 2002 they became 29ers) and it closed at $227.50.Ĭlick to expand.Are you reading impaired as well as baffled? I owned a supercaliber of that era, along with a CR-7 and a procaliber. A Mt tam or a RS-1 I could see being collectible, but not a supercaliber. More importantly it ws the middle-range of the brand (the fifth model from the bottom of the 12 model range). The brand was already asian owned by then, and mass producing bikes overseas and there wasn't anything especially spectacular about the supercaliber to begin with, and it was only a $1200 bike back then. Old fishers really don't have the collector value you seem to think they do. Be thankful you're even getting $500 for it. As pointed out, Trek has no need to honour the warranty at all (US law doesn't require the new owners of a company to honour past warranties or support past products of the company being bought out). So just buy a newer frame to put your parts onto. (Afterall I would take a new SuperCaliber if they gave it to me, I just don't have the cash now to make up the difference.) Should I try to negotiate a proper settlement with Trek? Has anyone seen a similar bike on eBay or elsewhere lately? I will need a new bike, or at least a 'new to me' used bike.ĭoes anyone know of a way to value my bike? I have seen a few of these pre-Trek Fisher bikes on eBay. They just offered me $500 toward a new bike.

I checked with my local Fisher dealer, who took pics and submitted them to Trek for warranty info. The frame is ruined! I am not an aggressive rider and it has not been abused. However, hair-line cracks recently appeard in the head tube. I am the original owner and I just love this bike. We don`t sell this product.I own a 1992 Pre-Trek Gary Fisher SuperCaliber.
