What is this '89 Bridgestone MB-2 worth?
This is a great riding Bike, and is in good riding condition. It is just too small for me, I get pinched nerves in my upper back when I try to ride it, so I am going to sell it. Can anyone here give me an estimate on what it is worth?
I believe it is the '89 model. It has a Crome Moly tubes, and weighs about 30 lbs.

Depending on where you live, a high quality MTB can be picked up for $150 ish. That said, bridgestone MTBs tend to command a premium so I'd go a little higher and adjust downwards if it doesn't move.

If you want advice from Bridgestone experts, try the "Internet BOB" message group. BOB stands for Bridgestone Owners Bunch.
It's also a great forum to sell Bridgestones, of course. I think you could easily get $250 for that bike (all cleaned up).
On yours, the bars and stem are not stock, but early 90s modifications. Some folks really like those Scott bars, and flex stems have their fans too.

Based on the height of your saddle, it doesn't look like the bike is too small for you. Maybe you just have to adjust the length/height of your stem.

Thanks for all of the replies. I live in Las Vegas. When rode it, the seat was up about 4 inches higher. I will look at adjusting the Stem, not sure how to do it though.
