When Grant Petersen designed the Bridgestone RB-T in 1991, the full on Touring rigs of the 1980s were VERY out of fashion compared to the new fangled mountain bikes coming around the corner. ATBs weren’t a thing yet. The XO series were his All-around bikes and the RB-T was always the 700c variety.
The RB-T always had cantilever breaks and no front eyelets. It’s a Sport Tourer for sure.
Here’s my 1994 Bridgestone RB-T. I call it #StriderBike. It is my favorite bike to Just Ride.
Lately I’ve been refreshing and upgrading Strider.
-105 Cranks and Chainrings
-new decals
-Matching touch-up paint.
-New hoods and dummy levers.
-Brooks leather bar tape
