Brigestone RB-2 year help?
Hey everyone,
i found an RB2 on the curb a fw days ago, I had to peel it off the frozen ground. It has a reallllllly bad silver rattle can paint job, but i managed to determine it is an Rb2 because i can see the slightly raises lettering from stickers inder the paint. I can also make out "Synergy" on the top tube. After some scraping i found the serial number legible H021019. So any help as to whether it is a '90 or an '80? It is a fully lugged frame with verticle dropouts, which confuses me. I was under the impression that by 1990 they were going to tig welded frames, but in 1980 theyd have used horizontal dropouts. It also has braze ons for downtube shifters, but those could also just be for cable guides. Original paint appears to be sparly white or pearl. Ive scraped the paint off near the head tube and bottom bracket and its yhe only color i see so far.
thanks in advance!
