Bridgestone MB2 '91

[tedhodson]

I bought this here from a member in 2015. It went through a couple cockpit arrangements: softride stem, flat bars, dirt drop stem, but now I'm finally happy with it. I guess the only thing that would make it perfect would be a small Carradice saddlebag.

I've ridden it on our local singletrack and it is excellent but it will probably be my reliable bike for the endless country roads around here.

Nice. I bought one of those frames and unfortunately discovered a hold in the chain stay while stripping it for a repaint. Its just sat in the rafters since.
