Bridgestone RB1 Road Racing Bicycle - $525 (evanston)

You are bidding on a . Yes, it’s the beloved lugged steel Bridgestone RB-1, a Grant Petersen era beauty that sports Italian design with top quality Japanese craftsmanship and Ishiwata butted tubing. The frame measures 53cm center crank to center seat tube/top tube junction, 55cm across the top tube, center to center. The bike shows plenty of typical scuffing and scratching to the paint, but nothing bad, mainly just the stuff you’d expect from normal use, and the bike really does make a great overall impression. There are NO dents, NO dings and NO cracks in the frame. Everything is in working order.

I'm not sure why it starts off with "You are bidding on a", but it sounds like a decent deal for a RB1.
