Need Price Estimation
 

How much should a Bridgestone MB-1 (I think its from 1987, Not sure) frame should cost ?
Its a Japanese Bridgestone (Lugs)

Hard to say. Bridgestones have their own following. MB-1 is a good one too. What kind of condition, where is it located, and will this be Ebay/CL/other?

$137.52

This small 1990 MB-2 went for a bit less than $260 for the whole bike: http://cgi.ebay.com/1990-Bridgestone...QQcmdZViewItem

An MB-1 is more desirable, but for a frameset only, a lot of the value would depend on its condition.

I appoint you Official Classic and Vintage Price Estimator.

I think that much of the appeal of a Bridgestone is the quirky assortment of components that came on them. Bullmoose stems, bi-plane fork, Deerhead derailleurs, etc. Without those things, I suspect the frames will go for a bit more than an otherwise comparable one.

I have a MB-1 myself and am thinking about selling it this summer, so I am curious to see what you get.

An MB-1 has a smaller market niche than a comparable Bridgestone road bike. If you got $50 for a used frame, consider yourself lucky.

Free to $20

Drew, I bid $137.53

I bid on a mint condition frame and fork 2 years ago that ended up selling for $350. The prices were so high on eBay at that time that I gave up on the MB-1 and settled for an MB-2.

You should post the same question in the vintage forum at mtbr.com.

You can also watch what they're going for on eBay.

He didn't ask what it would go for, he asked what it should go for.
Here is a link to the 1987 Bridgestone catalog on Sheldon Brown's website, for comparison.
