Value of 1986 Bridgestone MB-1 Competition
I'm curious about the value of one of my bikes. I bought this new in 1986. It's in good condition except for numerous paint chips. It's also nearly original - I replaced the stem and handlebars in 1989 (but I have the original ones somewhere).
I've also replaced the saddle, tires, etc., too.
Also, does anyone know where to get replacement brake pads for the rear brake (a Suntour XC Sport roller cam)?
Here are a couple of photos:

Bridgestone fans seem to want these regardless of price. I sold an MB-1 recently with a crushed chainstay for $175 and I can't get rid of a near mint early Ross MTB for $150. I've seen them on ebay for $400-500. Originality means a lot on these, I would definitely put the original parts back on if you have them.

Thanks for the information! I'm not planning on selling it. It's still a very useful bike and I'd just have to buy something else to replace it.
Some of those Ross MTB's were great. I worked in a shop that sold them and folks loved them. Great value for the quality.
