Bridgestone MB-1
 
A friend is trading me his pristine Pearl White stock Bridgestone MB-1 for my Oehler chronograph. What would this bike be worth in cash?

OH a Chronograph. for some reason I was thinking it was a watch. do you handload?

It all depends on condition, size, and original components...

Below are some ebay comps... for bridgestone mb 1... one recently sold for a crazy $850 but was near mint

Average is between $300 to $400 for complete and original bike in a med to large size

Frames go for between $100 to $200 depending on condition

Hope that helps... are you going to ride it or sell?

Yes, I do handload. Do you? Is that your Oehler? It looks just like mine.

It fits my friend who is about my size. I am 5'11" and usually ride a 55-56cm roadbike. He is supposed to bring it to work with him tomorrow. I will trade with him if it fits me. I think I would ride it for awhile at least. I have been wanting a lightweight lugged steel mountain bike to replace my 2 BMW(Montague) folding mountain bikes which are very heavy.
I will post pictures soon if I trade for it.

I used to when I lived in Arizona, now I just shoot the cheap stuff. no it is not mine I got it from the Oehler site.

Hello,

Does anyone know how tall the tallest MB-1 were made? Year too if it was just a couple of years.

Thanks,

in 88 it was 22in (56cm) for the mb1. you can look through the catalogs here and see if they made bigger http://www.sheldonbrown.com/bridgestone/#catalogues
