Earlier this year it was announced that Fisher Bikes would pick up where Lemond left off when Trek had dumped the brand back in 2008; because of allegations that were slandered back and forth between two grown men (who just happened to be two of the best American riders).

But as they often say things happen for a reason, and the reason happens to be the super stiff, super sleek Cronus. I have to say this is the first time in a long time I have been excited about something coming out of Fisher. Not that there is anything wrong with the way they have been going about things, it is just nice to see a killer road bike come out of the company. There is a bunch of new simple technology that seems pretty nifty, like the new removable fender mounts, allowing you to easily attach and remove a full fender set quickly. The most impressive feature on the Cronus is the FCC or Fisher Control Column, which integrates a 1.125″ to 1.5″ headtube with a wider fork and massive flanged front hub, which theoretically should yield a super responsive yet very supple ride. I would love to get my hands on one of these to test out.
