Not to take over Bikedude's thread, but some how after reading it yesterday, I got to poking around in Sheldon Brown's "Sheldonpedia"
and found the Bridgestone catalogue page for the 1994 MB-4. I was shocked that this old bike, which I brought home from the church yard sale, originally retailed for $750.
I donated $65 (which at the time I thought was too high). I guess not!
So is it worthy of a restoration? It feels like the front Tange suspension fork needs to be rebuilt. Can the elastic/rubber absorption material be easily replaced and is there a source for this type of rebuild? Thanks for any guidance or suggestions.
