That's really not my intention...This is the 5th Bridgestone I've ridden. I currently own 2 and recently sold 2 to a friend. I've never ridden my T700 but it measures up and is triple butted chromoly so I assume it will be just fine for its purpose. Like I said the RB1 I rode for a bit was fantastic even with it's IMO low level parts. It performed flawlessly and was lively and responsive. The RBT I rode was a pleasure as well even though it was a bit big. I also had a Phica (sp?) fixed conversion that was a blast after shaving the weight from components and a swap to 700c's. I like Bridgestones just as much as the next guy and fully intend to get 2 more...A RB1 and an MB1. I've learned my lesson though and will research frame geometry to get a frame that is closer to square like my T700...


Touche!
