I absolutely adored my Bone Bike! The fork was a first generation Rock Shox, so it didn’t do much, but the fit and frame geometry were perfect for me. I never treated it with the care of a collector’s item, however. I rode it everywhere, in all conditions, bent the rear derailleur hanger on a crash and bent it back with a pair of pliers…. and I didn’t know much about proper bike maintenance for the first half of its tenure with me. It was still in great shape, all things considered, but nothing like new from the box!

You know, I don’t think Limited Edition is really all that limited in the world of Gary Fisher, but there are fewer and fewer of the Grateful Dead Hoo Koo still living and breathing—and very few in the condition of yours! Honestly, I don’t know what you could get for it today, but I’m certain it’s still worth what you paid for it.

I have one still in the box and never built. Any idea of it’s worth?

You’re so right, Conrad! I have a huge love for mountain bikes from that time period—back when the human was more important than the machine.

I have this exact bike in very good condition that I got from a friends uncle’s estate. It is one of the most overlooked bikes in bicycling history.
