Yeow! Bummer!!!!

Really just riding along? Is that frame still under warranty?

Take the bike back to where you purchased it since this is a new model Have them take pictures and send in for shot at warranty coverage with Fisher. To me it looks like you landed very hard on the saddle during a jump. I broke a saddle like that once - not a seat tube. Boy did I have bruises. Fisher will have to make the decision as to whether it is impact damage or warranty. Good luck.

Fisher will have to make the decision as to whether it is impact damage or warranty. They usually try to cover most broken frames. I have never been able to get the frame covered when the break is behind the head tube - due to damage from missing a landing on a jump.

Is it from that batch of aluminum that's caused so much trouble? Someone posted a link somewhere on the board to the brands that got hit with some aluminum stock that fails.

Terry was one of the brands, but that's all I can remember.

(the real question is: were you riding near any holly bushes?)

I sell Gary Fisher bikes. We have not had any bikes effected by "bad aluminum".
