Bikes: 2010 Origin8 CX700, 2003 Cannondale Backroads Cross Country, 1997 Trek mtn steel frame converted commuter/tourer, 1983 Univega Sportour, 2010 Surly LHT, Others...

New to me 1991 Bridgestone MB4. Really good year for that model. Beautiful lugged large frame of Ritchey Tange tubing, great shape. Nice old Suntour components, pretty much all parts made in Japan.. Light enough, quick, responsive. Great mixed terrain commuter.
Had plenty of parts in the bin.
Changed out bars, grips, saddle, stem, seat post, pedals, and rack from parts on hand at home.
Bought Continental Travel Contacts 26X2.0 and KoolStop Salmon pads new at LBS today.
Fits like a glove, rides like a dream.
Less than $300 out of pocket investment.
