I've never seen an other like that before, the bike handle pretty well (even if those narrow flat bars are obsolete)
But as you said, it's not high end, welds aren't that regulary but conception is fairWorth it to put few € in it ?
Could do a nice all around city bruiser no ?

Definitely, if it fits and you are happy with the price it will make a great run around.

Love that MB-0 ad...
Less Confusing, Less Weight, More Sensible...
Reminds me of

This one was on gumtree.
Still not bad for £150
Cheers for clarifying that for me though
It does have the classic ivory paint under the pink.
And the turbo saddle made for this model. So I just assumed it was. -
Yeah, that saddle is the one thing I've found really hard to track down, have a couple of versions for my Zip but not sure either are 'correct'.
I'd say that was still a great deal for £150, they are really nicely designed and riding frames, and nice and light too.

Interesting, what year/s was this?
-
Yeah, Euclid looks ugly on everything, part of it's appeal surely! The dark ano Centaur could work well, the problem I have found with most the Olympus stuff is the paint flakes off easily, and the brake levers are terrible. Anyway, have you picked it up?
-
I think I'm gonna stick a flite on it. Not sure this suits my backside.
Let you have first dibs if you want? -
That MB-1 seems confused, like an MB-1/RB-1/XO-1 SS crossover.
I like it though.
-
I really like the forks on that Dawes

Lovely, I really want a MAX O.R bike. A lot of Italian MTBs on this thread, interesting.
-
Should make a pretty nice bike, shame about the fork though.
-
Definitely, obviously this place is primarily road/track focussed so it makes sense. I accidentally picked up a Chesini MTB recently, it's really nicely made, we'll see if the ride is as good as the American/British bikes I guess.

I had this Pinarello a long time ago too, it was too big.

Looks nicely made, I suspect Saarf knows more about these than me, but in my experience a lot of these Italian made MTBs from the early 90s were not 'high-end' machines, they had a great deal of experience building bikes but were not entirely sure what building an MTB entailed. Also, much like Campagnolo they kind of missed the boat and didn't commit till it was all a bit late, they are pretty rare and not often seen over here or in the US though.
