Gary Fisher, for helping to bringing off road to the main stream and still being initiative with the 29er thing.
Hope. Good innovative British firm that started off doing what no one else did and becoming the leader in their area. Hope seem to more or less rule the hydraulic brakes market.
Pace As above, although I don't know what they are up to now.
Hoffman bikes, For investing and pushing BMX when everyone else was running away.
Carradice. Timeless classics that do their job so well the design has barely changed. Bags that last as long as most of their customers cycling careers.
Moulton. For ploughing their own furrow, and keeping going despite what everyone said.
Cycling is full of excellent stories as many of the firm did start off as one man in the garage type affairs.
