Bike of The Month

Lhatch4's 1991 Bridgestone MB-5
This bike is a pristine surviver. I'm the second owner. I looks like the first owner road it a few times before putting it in a garage and forgetting about it. Exage groupset, steel frame, great bike.

I didn't originally intend to make a build thread for this one. It's more of a refreshing of a garage find, time capsule. This was the listing where I found it.

LOVE THAT!
That’s an early aluminium frame. What happened to the original quill stem? Or did you buy it like that?

Got it like that, the quill is a Nitto on an unidentified stem.

Was going to say that the Norco Rampage was guaranteed to get my vote, then the Cycle Tech comes along
Two of my favorite "blue collar" Canadian brands, what am I supposed to do? If anyone enters a BRC, I'm doomed...

There is no build thread for this, if that’s a disqualifier then so be it.
This is a 1995 Novara Arriba, it’s an REI Co-Op store brand frame I covered in cheap stuff.
Here it is before I got hit by a car for the third time
Here it is after I got hit by a car for a third time
The only fancy part on this bike is the set of xpedo spry pedals
I can’t show you the fork because it’s covered in swear words and messages about domestic terrorism
