What Have You Done To That MB-1?

What, what, what!!  And it's seafoam green or Bianchi celeste or somethin'!  Not MB-1 colors.  Those light, flexy, wicked short top-tubed hardtails are fun for a few minutes, but jesus, they are just deadly on rough trails.  Short seat tubes, long top tubes and short rear ends really make modern mountain bike hardtails better in every way than the old school, level-tt frames.  Neat project though; I'd take an EWR any day for actual riding, but that's just me.
