Hi everyone.
Just converted a 1991 Bridgestone MB-5 to Drop-bar's fun project just about got it all worked out .
Complete strip down and repainted 6 coats of paint. All new handle bars shifter's,Crank and derailleurs. It was in bad shape a lot of rust.

Had to add shorting

Thanks man. I get a lot of crap from people telling me I should have restored it to be all original. But where's the fun in that?

The Bridgestone colors were light green and yellow mix did not like it at all. And had some rust. Clean up good painted with ruststolem sp paint.
