Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Finally posting in this thread after my upgrade. 2013 Cervelo R3. Stock for now, but it works well for me as-is. Waaaaay better than my old CAAD.

The chunky stem complements the deraillers.I still think it is a hot bike though. I am starting to really like that frame, and the shimano cranks look much better in black than silver.

One of these things is not like the other, One of these things just don't belong, Can you tell which is not like the others, before i finish my song....

Obviously if you still can't pick the odd one out, you have shown us how knowledgeble and informed you are.

P.S.

It's the Bridgestone, seriously.

Well, since you're laying claim to a superior bike, let's see the pics, big boy.

What does that have to do with the value of the bike?

You must be having a boring Sunday.

bottom line....the bike sucks.

All I am saying is people post bikes that are worth so much and do so much more...

At the end of the day if BRIDGESTONE was so good at making bikes they wouldn't have stopped in the 90's....They wised up and went back to making tires.

They didn't.



So how 'bout that ignorance issue?
Also, that RB-1 is easily worth 3 grand.

While you're chuckling, everyone else will be gawking at the Bridgestone. SuperSix is a sweet bike and I almost bought one myself, but the Bridgestone is a timeless machine.

Wow, so i am guessing this is the moment you think I have been schooled...I mean in the amount of time it took you to google that pic, you should've been using the time spent with you reading up on the specs...

THAT MODEL (And I quote)
'This model is a special track bike, it is not equipped with front or rear brakes, so it cannot be ridden legally on public thoroughfares'

Yeah...so how bout that ignorance?

P.S. Here is the site you can find all your facts on : https://www.bscycle.co.jp/en/bridgestonebicycle_thai.pdf
read it, process it, read it again just so you're sure...then you can say something.

Don't jump in the middle of a conversation. 1. its rude 2. you look like an idiot because we are not talking about the RB-1. We were talking about a yellow 1991 bridgestone. That goes for about $250, or $50 at a garage sale....whatever comes first.

No, you googled the PIC.

I knew it was a track bike...I just thought it was funny that you decided to post a TRACK Bike. why not pick one of there other bikes that you can actually ride on the road? But since YOU are into googling your facts, i thought i might spare the painful 15 mins it would cause you by just sending you a link...from there do what you wish.

I'm pretty familiar with track racing.
Whats your point?

Also, some more schooling for you:
Feel free to read that there link you posted, and make sure to keep an eye out for the various road bikes they currently produce.

Congratulations, pretty sure you've lost this one.
