The MB-1 was designed as an uncompromising racer so the geometry is
deliberately aggressive. Fantastic piece of equipment though with that
wonderful Tange Prestige frame. Yours looks to be mostly original with the
exception of the rims?

weight of the components that the suspension system does not act upon
(rims, tires, brake calipers etc.). Keeping this number to a minimum is

So we're back to #1 - light tires & tubes. Followed by #2 - light rims &
spokes.
No one else want to chime in on friction? How much slip does say, a

That's super nice, the 650b is the way to go & thank goodness for the
Tektro R559s for making these conversions possible. My next one (after I
