My son didn't want his Bridgestone MB-2 after college, so I threw some parts on it to ride gravel trails. I have accumulated a bunch of parts over the years, so nothing was purchased for this conversion. The bars are Origin 8 Gary bars, stem from Nashbar, 7 speed Mega-range freewheel, 7 speed SIS bar end shift levers, Terry Liberator saddle. Tires are Kenda, but they are looking rough from age related cracking, so they will be one of the first things to get replaced. The frame looks pretty bad after four Indiana winters outside, but I'll deal with that after I see how it rides. Mostly, I wanted to see how the frame was going to fit. With a quick dash on the road in front of my house, it looks good.
