While pondering getting rid of a bike, I kind of accidentally bought another one!
@Matisse linked me to a heap of crap for sale just round the corner from my gaff and it felt irresponsible not to go and get it. A Bridgestone MB-5 that has clearly spend longer outside than is ideal. It was a complete bike, but pretty much all the components are junk (Exage cranks and colour-matched Ritchey stem possibly salvageable). The frame doesn't actually look too bad - certainly worth saving. The seatpost is stuck, but so was the stem and I've just managed to get that out. Hoping all the post needs is a bit of soaking and then a bit of muscle.
Not really sure what to do with it, though. It's too big for me!
