Yep - the red/white MB-2 is an 89; I have the identical bike in my basement. I'm embarassed to say I've been sitting on it for nearly 2 years now after picking it up on CL for $50. Original owner was a woman who used it on-road only, including a couple times riding STP. My plan is to make it my go-to utilitarian gravel road commuter do everything bike. I like the look of the Brooks on it! only drawback I can see is there is no hole in the fork crown for fender/rack mounting, and no front dropout mounts, though the rear has seatstay and dropout mounts. I'm a little nervous about drilling the fork, but I think I'll do it anyway. BTW, when my wife and I started dating and she was still living at home, her parents wanted to get her a bike for Christmas. Portland was all out, but I located an MB-6 like the one pictured over at the coast, and was happy to make the deal and drive over and pick it up. She eventually passed it on to one of her sisters who lives on a ranch in SE Oregon. Last I heard she was still riding it on the gravel roads over there. Nice MB-1! Glad it fits.
