Rb-1
Nice work, how do you like the ride. I built up a yellow RB-1 for last years unofficial Cino Heroica in MT. Ran some 32 gravel kings on it; did great on the gravel and asphalt.

This thread reminds me of that Winning Magazine series where they were going to take a stock RB-1 and race (Cat 1/2, IIRC) it for a season, with some upgrades along the way. I don't know if they ever finished the year, but I thought it was a neato idea.

Oooooh, the 'steeze', it just oozes it! Red paint, dark grey anodized rims, and tan wall tires. Knock-out combo!

RB-1s were the only Bridgestone I enjoyed examining closely.
Great paint, great joining, and they ride like an Italian bike.
But flip the front wheel quick release to the other side.
