Hi,
On a recent trip to San Diego I found a Bridgestone RB-1 Bicycle for a very friendly price and I happily snagged it. I later realized that it was made of a mix of 022 and 019 tubing. Even with the aggressive tire patterns of Continential Top Touring 700 x 32 tires, it has a very responsive surging quality that I found useful for exploring San Diego. I also ride a Raleigh R800 Columbus Altec 2 7005 Alumium bicycle and I have to say that the Ishiwata is very close to the pure responsiveness of going from 0 to 25mph in 6 secs.
