Micheal, I know that it's not THE answer that you are looking for AND
it would be A LOT more expensive, but you could contact Rivendell and
have a new custom made in the STYLE of an MB-1. You could get one of

craftsmanship, and a bicycle

just ride it on nice days when rain isn't predicted (cue laughtrack,
