The first year (& maybe the second, too?) XO-1 had recalls due to fork crown failures. Yikes! In the latest Rivendell Reader, Grant says the last two years Bstone was in the US ('93 & '94) he saw a noticeable decline in the details of the road bikes. Things like rougher lug quality. I don't know if that means the other bikes suffered as well, but I'd guess so.
Keep looking, though. I recently bought a '93 MB-1 (with original Ritchey-designed lugged fork) in great condition for $300. I've got it completely stripped down & am rebuilding or replacing all the bearing locations. I'm also going to "up-spec" it with the Allsop Softride suspension stem (found on the '94 MB-1) & a Brooks Conquest sprung saddle!
