“Eleanor” is my Rivendell inspired Bridgestone Build.
This bike came to me originally with a mismatched fork, & Branded as an MB-5
Note: currently has a threaded fork with 25.4 quill, but does fit a 1 1/8 threadless as well.
I originally built it as a bikepacking rig, and played around with different setups. In attempt to color match the fork I painted it green. It didn’t match the frame at all - fail 🤦♂️. But…the green looked sharp, so I did the whole frame to match. Short story long, here it is with solid components (some new and like new). I don’t have the time or space to ride it, so hopefully you do.
Price reflects the sum of the parts (basically components). The frame is steel, it’s been treated with frame saver internally, and has a small dent in the top tube. Size: C-T 23in TT 24in
