My wife's diminutive RB-1 is for sale. We purchased the frame used from
Gary V Hobbs about 5 years ago. Deciphering the serial number, using a
Bridgestone dating system relayed by a fellow iBob, the bike is a 1990 =
model, built on Feb 21, 1989; the 584th RB-1 produced that month.
The frame is a lovely red with white graphics. It's one of the "Synergy"
RB-1s.
Specs are:
47cm ST, All measurements are center to center
51cm TT
Ishiwata triple butted, 4130 "EX" tubeset.
Horizontal dropouts, (could be a great fixed gear.)
Included are:
Shimano 105 headset
Ultegra triple bottom bracket
Kestrel carbon fiber fork, 1 inch threaded. I know this could be
heretical on this list, but the bike didn't come with the original steel
fork, so CF became a good option.
This is a great riding, classic steel frame. The frame has a few paint
chips, but absolutely no dents or dings. The color is a very nice pearl red
which really glistens in direct sunlight.
Asking $350 which will include professional packing.
