Technically it should be wes willits of willits bikes fame that gets the thanks for the 29er thing...he was pioneering it way before fisher...only fisher had the backing of trek to allow him to 'discover' it for the mainstream. :)
As for Pace....right up until they switched to just forks they were great...then they ditched their best product, their frame...then bought out that hideous frame that was made in the far east that looked like 80% of the other alloy frames out there. :(
Hope on the other hand have gone from strength to strength in the last 20yrs.
Also middleburn if we're on a uk tip...for being one of the few independant machine shops to still be producing after the rise and then fall of the 90's.
