RB 3 Synergy
Debating if this Bridgestone is worth the two hour drive to Austin. Thoughts?

If in good shape, the bike is an OK price. I wouldn't drive 4 hours for it.

Oh hell yeah. I'm having a Japanese bike freak out. It just doesn't get any better than this. Go for it.

Priced at FMV and appears to be in VG condition. However, not worth a 140 mile drive IMHO, unless you have other chores in Austin.

Tange 5 = nothing special. I wouldn’t drive far to get it.
look for good frame material first, Tange 2 or higher and good components.

You'd be paying the Bridgestone Tax for this. Ask yourself: if this was a late 80's Schwinn Le Tour, would you be considering this at $195 and 2 hours away?
