Selling my Bridgestone MB-2 single-speed commuter. Every component was chosen for durability, ride quality, and longevity.
Frame size: Seat tube c-t 46cm, Top tube c-c 56cm. For reference I'm 5'9" with a long torso and 30" inseam, and this fits me comfortably given the long top tube in 90s mountain bike frames.
Price: $400 firm, can include Manivelle front basket for $75 additional
This is priced based on component value alone — the Paul hubs, Sugino Crankset, and White Industries ENO freewheel cog already total ~$300+. The frame and rest of the build are essentially bonus. Not looking for haggling; priced fairly for a quick sale to someone who appreciates quality.
Cash only. In-person pickup only — Ohio City, Cleveland. Will meet at public location (coffee shop, police station, etc.). If the ad is live, it’s available.
Serious inquiries only — please include your phone number or a message showing you’ve read the listing. I’ll ignore “is this available” texts.
Thanks for looking.
