1989 Bridgestone MB-2

Bought new, still have the original manual (receipt sadly disappeared.) Still has original Dia-compe brakes/levers, Suntour Accushift Plus derailleurs and 7-speed freehub, ritchey hard-anodized rims. Original stem, seat post and avenir seat disappeared during a move while the bike was set up for my dear wife but have been replaced with similar items. After a few years of serving as my son's bike I finally had to replace cables/housings, pedals and bottom bracket (crunchy bearings are no fun.) 'twas cheaper to fit a modern 22/32/44 crank and exo-BB (lighter, too) than to replace sugino BB and 24/34/46 sprockets. Bike is now on its second (or maybe 3rd or 4th) life and even the accushift works well enough to be useable. 1989 was my favorite year for Bridgestone color schemes.
