I rode that bike as well, it certainly is a big one, yet it rode comfortably still. It was not in as good of condition as the one I did get. I don't sense that the vintage Bridgestone mountain bike network is all that strong here in SB. And I am not sure yet how much my son is liking the one he has, but if it seems worthwhile I can go grab the other MB-2. It is the next year's model, likely the 21 inch frame. Now you have got me thinking seriously about it . . . .
