+1 on the Bridgestone MB0, MB1, MB2 & MB3. Those represented a pinnacle of sorts IMO. Before then there were lots of dorky features that in retrospect were unnecessary: biopace chainrings, elevated chainstays, U brakes, bullmoose bars, bigger front wheel, etc etc.... (someone will give me grief about one of these know doubt). Early 90s bridgestones were very elegant in comparison. Still had lugged frames, and nothing extraneous. I remember thinking early Kona were pretty cool too. I'm sure there were others that were nice, but bridgestones were my fave in the shop I worked at the time.
