No bike is for everyone. Just because it is a Peterson era Bridgestone does not mean it will be kissed by God. What does not work for you might be amazing for someone else and something you love I might think sucks.

I actually like longer top tube lengths. I have never ridden an RB of any kind before so I can't comment.

I think you are really bashing it to get Bridgestone fans worked up though. It's just as easy to say "Man this Bridgestone has a weird geometry that doesn't work for me" but you have to go on about how much you "hate it" and it "sucks" and it's awful.

It didn;t work for you....deal with it and move on.
