I've owned my share of Bridgestones over the years. I worked in a shop in the early 90s and I fell in love with the bikes. I sold a '92 XO-1 a few years back and I gave my brother a RB-2. I still own and ride regularly, a '92 BB-1, a '93 RB-1, and a '93 XO-2. The XO-2 is just a great all rounder, the RB-1 is a classic road bike and the BB-1 makes a great utility bike (currently shod with studded tires for the winter). I've completely rebuilt all three of the bikes.
