In this video I'll be building up a vintage Bridgestone MB-5 frame and talking about why I like working on old school MTBs. This is a budget friendly build that anyone can do without breaking the bank. I'll talk about some common issues that arise when working on mountain bikes from the 90's and show off the final build.
