Bridgestone RB-1 Makeover

I just wasn't feeling the love for my '92 RB-1 so I decided to make some changes. Originally the bike came with an extremely long stem that I needed to swap out. About two years ago I decided to put on mustache bars with a shorter stem. I got tired of those so I did a major makeover. I replaced the stem and put on drop bars. I replaced the barcons with STIs. I went from 7 to 8 speed. I replaced the 7 speed Shimano 600 rear derailleur with an 8 speed. I replaced the 7 speed wheelset with 8 speed. I swapped out the tires and saddle. I also swapped out the Dia Compe brake calipers for 600s. All the parts I swapped out I had in my parts bin. Hopefully after these changes I feel the love for my Bridgestone. Here are before and after pictures.
