Thanks for all the feedback folks. I’ve listed the bike on NYC craigslist
and ebay, and if it doesn’t sell I’ll try mounting different bars! I
appreciate the advice.

You deserve a new bike. If you'd had it this long and it's not dialed in
yet, I'd get a new bike. But I just have one and do it all on my Betty Foy.

Just to note, obviously, the Happy Stem is threadless so you would need a

This was on a NORBA-type ~19-20 inch c-c 26-er frame.

The Nitto Dirt Drop stem, which comes in 8 cm and 10 cm extensions, can get
a bar high on a low-stack frame without looking odd like a "7" stem. I used
a 10 cm to get a Noodle high enough and close enough for a road-bike-like
position despite very low stack, truncated steerer, top tube about 2-2.5
thanks for the feedback so far.
Yes, Philip, mine is mostly original.

I was in a similar situation: I had a comparably spec'd Giant with bars
that were way too low for me to ride comfortably. I somewhat solved it by
adding a long/tall stem and Bosco bars, but soon after built up my own Clem
L. In short, the only thing MB-1 era bikes do better than a Clem is take
I would sell a bike whose geometry (or any other aspect) annoys me because
someone else may really love it. I finally got hold of a Susie and it feels
different from the Clem H that I sold but may be less so compared to a Clem
L. It is fun to speculate but not if it gets in the way of enjoying
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?

Lee,
I will share our experiences: we bought his/her 90's era Trek 930 ATBs
during the pandemic as project bikes. They both had close-to-level top
tubes, much like your MB-1. I ended up buying a pair of
threaded-to-threadless stem adapters and then installing shorter (and
upright)
