1992 Bridgestone MB-2
Well, after wrenching on a few other projects I'm back at it again. Looking to see what other members think of this '92 MB-2. The seller is asking $400, but I think that's a little on the high end (located in Raleigh, NC).
It looks clean from the photos and the owner said it was overhauled a few months ago, new tires, brakes, bearings, and grips.
Let me know what y'all think.
Thanks everyone,
D

Some of the "updates"" are rather unfortunate looking (post, stem, 1x drivetrain, pedals) but maybe you'll get lucky and the seller will still have the original parts
id be in at $400 on this one

Yeah, it's a bit unfortunate, but luckily those are easy fixes for the most part. Fingers crossed they still are holding on to the original parts.

Priced for perfection and its not. Missing a lot of original parts, too many to list. So collectibility goes out the window.
At that point, its in the general recreational old school rigid frame MTB market.

In my market, I can see that selling for $400, maybe even a little more.
Not digging the 1x7, but it may make it more appealing to the average buyer.
