Not really vintage, but a lot of folks like Grant Peterson's work. Here is a Bridgestone RB-2, very nice Ishiwata triple butted frame, lugged. Complete with one Time shoe, 40$. Too bad it is not an RB1, but still a really nice bike. The top tube is a bit long and the bike seems to fit me (I usually take a 62cm, this one is 58) so I think I may fix it up-- what little needs be done to it-- and ride it about for a while before I decide if I want to sell it. I currently need another bike like I need a hole in the head, but I've decided to actually sell a couple of the ones in my size soon (no, Tyson, not one of the PXs, sorry.). I've always wanted to try a Bridgestone, though, like a pauper like me could ever afford a Rivendell. From what I've heard of mister Peterson, he'd probably be horrified I'd consider riding a smaller bike. Oh, well-- if he doesn't like it, he can build me a proper one for free to save me from myself. Nearly pristine condition, needs new rim strips and a truing. The shoe is not my size (bummer).
