1987 Bridgestone MB-1 45cm
Bridgestone MB-1 Bridgestone MB-1
My second mountain bike and the one I've ridden thousands of miles of trails on. It has very little original parts remaining, just the front derailluer. It came new with drop bars, the only production mountain bike to do so and reminded me of the bikes in Crested Butte. I love this bike and we have had uncountable good times.

In the PNW, I have fenders on it almost year round, only removing them for a few months if it's really dry. It has withstood more off-road riding than any other bike I've ever seen, and even after riding Cunninghams, Merlins and others, this one's hard to beat.
