Might be a Bridgestone MB-1

I found this old mountain bike with thumb-shift 7-speed XT components. Under-chain-stay rear brakes - no markings at all, painted with a straw broom it appears. I dug and dug, and the closest I could come was Bridgestone MB-1 or MB-2. Only clue is the Prestige Tange Cro-Mo label.

I had it sandblasted and painted white (traded a six-pack of beer for the job). Had a label-making friend make me reproduction MB-1 decals, and now I just ride it. I love it.

Before and after pics attached.

Restoring a vintage bike has been the craze for most bicyclers. The satisfaction you can get from it is irreplaceable.
