picked up my Xtra today

I like it! It's a 1991 Bridgestone MB-4 that I found on Craigslist for $60 last month. I added albatross bars, bar end shifters, and a Brooks saddle. After tweaking the fit a bit, I think I'm going to have fun with this bike. It's definitely a conversation piece--I stopped for lunch on the way home, and a woman started talking to me about it and came outside to check it out.
