Looks pretty good. Who did the paint and decals?

Looks nice

EXCEPT

why put a Bridgestone "700" label on the downtube? It's not a 700. It's not even close. I get that it's no longer a "MB", either. Come up with your own unique model number, like you came up with a uniquely adapted bike.

(Mis-labeled bikes are a huge pet peeve of mine. This isn't as disingenuous as the many fake "Colnago" or "Pinarello" bikes out there, but it's still inaccurate and confusing)

Rant over.

Kudos to giving an old bike new life. I'm putting the most miles on an '88. Ride the heck out of yours! (once you finish the build)
