Re: 2003 Fishbone FBP
I have this exact frame! My friend found it while he was walking home and it had a sign saying "free",so he took it and gave it to me as a bonus when I bought his Brodie Thumper. Much like you,I had a hard time finding info,but did find a pic of it in a Ebay.ca Ontario Police auction.It said "Fishbone Double Gusset",which leads me to believe they didn't know what it was either. $30 is what they were asking for it. From what I've found out,"Fishbone" is actually "Gary Fisher" after he soldout to overseas.Made in the Philipines is what one of the decals on my frame reads.
I'd post a pic,but I COMPLETELY disassembled it as I had no space for it and needed a few of the parts for other bikes... Used the bars and grips on a Gary Fisher,actually! 
The bars you have are awesome!! And rare,as far as I know. Not the same as I got. I do however have a set of chrome bars with the Fishbone decal,just like yours and they are almost identical to the bars on my '97 Haro Shredder Super Deluxe. I say 'almost' because the other ones are stamped Haro. The welds are the same great qaulity though.
Hope this info helps. Cheers.
I collect and restore chrome BMX bikes.

tubing/97 Haro Shredder Super Deluxe/01 Free Agent Air Strike/
...so far.

Re: 2003 Fishbone FBP
That's so strange that you mentioned the "police auction", Cause that's actually where my bike came from.
The fellow I bought it from said he got it at a police auction somewhere near Ontario CANADA.
It's a small world afterall. This really must be a rare find, the only picture available on the
net is the same exact bike ? wow !
Well, thanks for the helpful info.....Nick

I have a fishbone Big Ass bike for sale. I believe I may also have a Fishbone "strait up" stem somewhere as well. The strait up stems were 100% zero off set 1 1/8 setups where you had to drill a hole in your bars so the front break cable could go through as the stem set the bars right in line with the fork tubes !

Re: 2003 Fishbone FBP
I have the exact same bike right now. I'm so glad that I found out some info on it. I thought it was one of those no-name brand bikes when my parents got it for me and for a while I was disappointed because all my friends had haros and mongooses and I hade a unknown bike brand. But now I know. The bike is awesome. Never gave me any trouble. It's a bit heavy but that's it. Only replacement I made was the tires and brake cabels. Im so glad I found out more about my bike.

Re: 2003 Fishbone FBP
No, I'm in the UK £4.00 is what I paid. only wanted the front brake & alloy front sprocket. It's got lots of chips in the paint & extra stickers everywhere. Also, seat post is stuck. I'm not sure what I'm going to do with it yet but it's a shame the smaller parts are missing as Fishbone bits tend to look good.

Re: 2003 Fishbone FBP
Hi I have one of these too....so in total I guess there are 3. These are so rare I have spent along time trying to get info too - due to the weight I dont think it's chromo. I have not rode it yet as I have many other over engineered frames from the 90's love it for that. Mines in Grey also but does not have any good components (yet). It will be worth something because its rare and damn ugly in a good way....so not sure if I should leave the paint alone or give it a refirb.

Fishbone is not gary fisher, its mongoose. we have a facebook page. fishbone is still in business, not making bikes, but camera rigs. carguy (member here) is the top fishbone know it all here. he can often get parts too.

Re: 2003 Fishbone FBP
I actually just bought the above pictured Fishbone FBP from a guy locally,its pretty much ready to ride just need to clean it up a little and probably change the back tire...I will honour the original owner of this bike and do lots of skids with the rear tire...will post a pic in the future.

Re: 2003 Fishbone FBP
My dad actually just gave me one of these bikes. He got it in mid 2000’s in Saskatoon. My front wheels bent and the paint isn’t the best but it’s a good bike
