1998 Gary Fisher Cake

Sweetest and Most Rare of New School bikes -Okay -at least I think so.

I wanted this one too -but couldn't find one in the US to buy.  They seem to show up for sale in Australia on a pretty regular basis, but never here.
Finally, saw one on CL -but in Miami.  Great Props to BMXerPete in West Palm for picking this up, sitting on it for two months, and bringing it up to the 2010 Spring Fling to deliver it to me!  Great guy!

Feb 2011 - Got some New parts -and Some New Decals!
Gary Fisher threadless pro fork.  Long steer tube that I don't want to cut -so I also switched to a Bontrager 3 bolt Stem.
Black alloy Odyssey INTAC seat post and new raw and machined seat post clamp
Tektro Red brakes that I got on the museum and seperately bought the really cool Red and Yellow lever
New Michelin Mambo BMX tires -really fat suckers.
Black Widows, Dan's Comp, FMF, Wahoo's Fish Tacos, and some cool COOP devil girl 1999 stickers.

This frame is the Cake -which was what I believe to be the first of these frames for GF.  He basically worked in tandem with the Trek people, the parent company, who were coming out with the TEAM ISSUE bikes -the Y frame -and he cut the seat tube like the Specialized Fatboy.  They had this same frame but in a pearl white that they called the Dolph, and later this was in Gray and called the PRO Issue.  Maybe they were just different part packages since they all seem to be the same time frame.   Curiously, I got the original receipt from the seller of this bike -and it says Dolph on it -not Cake.
