1989 Gary Fisher CR-7 mountain bike VINTAGE Shimano XT Cunningham Ritchey RARE in Redwood City, California

This is a 1989 Fischer CR-7 mountain bike in all original condition. Gary nailed it with this bike and all who raced or just rode one loved the design, which is a production version of the very rare Mantis XCR Composite frame designed by Richard Cunningham. It has an aluminum front triangle with steel stays that bolt to the frame. The fork is also steel and original. It was the top of the line in 1989. The frame is completely free on any dings, dents or cracks and has only normal cosmetic wear (scuffs, scratches, chips etc.) from 35 years of use and transport. The steel portions of the frame have some surface pitting that may buff away. For its age, I'd consider it in excellent original condition functionally and cosmetically. The all original parts all function beautifully, with only normal
typical wear you'd expect from a bike this age. Please look closely at all the pics! The bike is ride ready. Serial number is Y434.

Shipping is to the USA 48 ONLY and will be $175 via

shipping bikes has become much more expensive, and the bike may need to be
disassembled more than previously (fork removed).

Apologies, but it is very inconvenient as a seller. SORRY!
 
Fine Print:
Returns:  All
measurements may be a bit off.  That
said, great care is taken to ensure that the bike has been described EXACTLY
and PRECISELY.   As the bike is shipped
insured, any damage from shipping will result in a claim.  Please save all packing material to return
the bike.  If damage from shipping occurs
– you will be fully reimbursed – for purchase and shipping, but ONLY if you
retain the packing material...I cannot file a claim without this.!!  Should you just have buyer’s remorse, you may
return the bike at your own expense.  In
the case of buyers remorse, a 20% restocking fee will be deducted from your
total payment.  This 20% restocking fee
covers the packing and shipping costs of sending the bike to you.  Given the care in writing the description and
the quality of the pictures, any “item not as described” case is unwarranted
and will not be honored.  Please ask all
questions before buying
 
Please recognize you are buying a used bike.  All bikes are ridden before shipping.  The bike will be disassembled for
shipping.  The handlebars will be
removed.  The bars, with cables attached,
will be looped back over the top tube, which will be covered with pipe foam and
secured.  Though this will help the parts
survive the shipping, the cables and housings will be stressed enough to throw
all adjustments off.  It is likely that
the brakes and derailleurs will need minor adjustment upon arrival and
reassembly.  The seat, seat tube, and
pedals (if included) will be removed. 
They will be wrapped in bubble wrap and secured so that they will not
damage the frame.  The frame and fork
blades will be wrapped to prevent damage. 
The front wheel will be removed. 
The front wheel axle ends will be protected with bubble wrap or foam
which will be taped in place.  Bike boxes
are reused for shipping.  There may be
holes in the box from a previous shipper’s poor packing
 
To reiterate – you are buying a used bike with a collection
of used, and possibly new, components. 
It has been ridden.  It has been
disassembled for shipment.  It will need
to be reassembled and probably need adjustment before it will work as
intended.  If you expect perfection,
please buy a new bike from your Local Bike Shop (LBS).  The premium price that you pay will help them
stay in business.  Buying a new bike from
the LBS will allow you to have the perfection that you expect.
 
Please ask all questions before buying.  I’ll do my best to answer.
 
Sorry for all the mumbo jumbo, but having to state the
obvious is how things are with many ebay buyers these days.
 
Ride Strong and Stay Safe!
