I was just maed aware of this thread from a link elsewhere. Great job on the restoration! I worked in a shop that sold Fisher when this frame was introduced, and had a co-worker who bought and built one. They are rare enough that it is great to see one occasionally. Thanks for the memories.

Re: I just found this thread from a link on facebook. Good history. I sold Alpinestars bikes brand new at the shop in which I worked in the early 90's. I have one correction to the history in the original post. The 1991 T-24 bike did not have 24" wheels as mentioned in the original post, but...

Colorado, USA

Research Dynamics was a snow ski company based out of Sun Valley, Idaho, USA in the late 80's and early 90's. That bike should be around 1990. I believe the 1991 model was black, and the 1992 model was silver. If I remember correctly, they came originally with a Shimano Deore DX kit. Some...

Your post reminded me of this photo I took this photo of my skis about a month ago. Factory finish.

My 1989 MB-1 has an indented chain stay to clear the chain rings. I'll post a photo when I get the chance.

1. Built mine to get a pile of parts off my garage floor. They are easier to move around the garage and storage is easier when built into a complete bike. 2. There is also the macho thing: I get a kick out of hearing people on geared full sussers say "cool, rigid and single" or "wow, you...

Mine. $16.50 US invested. Sub 19 lbs. 1997 Marin Team built from parts in my garage

Tough question. I never owned a modern bike until November of this last year. I have only 3-4 rides on it and still don't have the controls, shock, fork, brakes dialed in to where I am comfortable on it. My vintage bikes, however, are dialed in just the way I like them and I tend toward...

Here is a nice write up on a bike that goes both ways: http://forums.mtbr.com/showthread.php?t=238365 Years ago, Grant Peterson suggested the 1988 or 1989 Bridgestone MB-1 was designed to accept 700c wheels and the fork and rear brake bridge were drilled to fit road calipers. I fitted my...

Wayne at www.TheTouringStore.com has many solutions for different rack mounts. However, if the frame is not up to it, look at picking up a cheap steel bike, or a frame and moving your parts over for the tour. I just picked up a complete 1989 Bridgestone MB-1 for next to nothing in the local...

I haven't spoken with him in close to 20 years. I got out of the business several years ago. I think I saw him at Interbike a few years back, but didn't get a chance to speak with him. I'm sure he wouldn't have known me anyway.

I have been a member for a short time here, but in that time I have seen that many of you are fans of FUNK bicycles. Therefore, I thought I would share this photo I took of Daryl with what I believe was his first bike back in 1988. He stopped by our shop and introduced himself and let us ride...
