I really don't need a bike, but my Hunqupillar plan would be mountain bike. And just like Bill, I currently ride an MB-4 offroad even though it's only 55 cm. (My other bikes are 62, 64, 65 cm.) But I don't think I can bring myself to replace my MB-4 as the dedicated knobby offroader. I've been enjoying it since 1991 when it was new. (Now its purple.) Still my favorite Bridgestone ever.
