Picked up an old MB-2 with biplane fork a while back for Grace.
Stripped it and had it powdered a dark pearlescent gray, then built it up with a wide double, big mountain cassette, downtube-turned-bar-end shifters, rack and 'stache bars.
Fenders to come.

94 MB-1 Suspension stem and grip shifter. Catalogue lists thumb shifters but this might have been mid-year manufacture change or dealer change. I may change to Suntour expert thumbies I have lying around and go friction. XTR front and rear derailers. Again different from catalogue, upgrade from Deore. Shimano cantis and Diacompe levers. Cool Ritchey designed biplane fork. Old Avocet saddle. The gal I bought it from had Specialized wheels that I replace with old Mavics, front radial laced, rear 3 cross. Street tires on because the only off-road I ride is trails. Great for urban riding around DC.
