My second '89 MB-1.

Can't find a pic of my '90 MB-1. Truck and bikes all long gone now.

I demand this thread be locked and thrown in the recycle bin for severely tempting me to buy another Bridgestone!!!

[Benster]

Loving the progress!! Great bikes!!

What happened to its Koski fork?

Good question, I found the frame and fork in separate deals.

hard to go wrong with a Logic fork. I think they're a good compromise between the spindly 1/2" blades and the 1" Yeti and Type II forks.

my 89. I really dug this bike back in its day:

The '94 MB1 is my main ride, the '89 MB2 is in my Garage collection. The MB3, MB4 (no picture) and MB5 were parts donors..

Just remembered, I've also got an '89 MB1 frame that I'm building

Great bikes here, wish I had one. So I have to ask, is it OK to install a Ritchey lugged fork on any of the MB frames above 3? Reason I ask is cause I have a fork but no frame. All the frames I've found in my size are not 1's or 2's or even the correct year for the Ritchey fork.

Here's my '93, have since replaced the tires with some Z-Maxs to keep the troops happy must of misplaced the pedals

Room for an XO here? I've ridden it on mild trails but mainly use it as an all road (dirt, pavement, what have you) ride...

Depends on the year fork and the year frame. The later 89 on frames have steeper head angles and the forks have less rake. If you want :FACTORY" geometry you should use forks/ frames from the the years that correspond. Bridgestone Bicycles You can find geometry's here.
