FYI Testers 1788 is a good match for that grey if you are looking to touch up your scratches.

Good to know! Thanks

Since this thread is back from the dead...

The most recent picture from an actual 20 mile ride! Such a fun bike!

Well yummy. Hope it's still going strong.

I bought an MB-2 frame because of this thread. Have yet to do anything with it though.

Thank you by the way! Sorry for the lagged response...

My MB1 still remains one of my more beloved steeds. Sadly, ridden only a few times since its rebuild. On the other hand, she remains immaculate!!
