  1. Sheesh. That is an *incredible* collection. And almost all being absolute top-end or near top-end models too. Especially that tired looking black one at the end.

    🙂

    Edit: Man I would love to have that orange XO-1 or the MB-0.

    Very nice I’ve got a mostly original MB-4 I’d love to keep but it’s too small for me.

    That’s a stunning collection and an adorable dog! Please do not break into my house to steal my ’89 Radac 2100 to complete your collection tho, thx

  4. Hey guys! Thanks for all the nice comments! Figured I would tell you my story… Sometime a while back I totally got an obsession with Bridgestones. started in the early 2000’s when I worked for Bridgestone (the Tire retail operations side of things), and was just getting into cycling and would ride to work. a coworker invited me over his place to show me his yellow RB1 that he got new in ‘93, I don’t think he ever rode it, he just had a career working for Bridgestone and thought it looked cool so bought it from him for $400.

    Years later life got crazy and sold it, regretted that so much, and when I got my life back together I found the same ‘93 on ebay! So got that one and started focusing more on me and what I like to do… in addition to riding and wanted to learn everything I could on my favorite hobby, So started tinkering and volunteering at my local bike coop. I Would cruise marketplace and buy frames and parts, watch videos, learn by trial and error, and the collection just keeps growing! I built from parts the red RB1, Zip, and MB6.

    And I have around a dozen other bikes/frames in various states. All mostly steel frames from the late 80’s – early 2000’s. Grateful that my wife puts up with me and my obsessive hobby (bikes take up a lot of space haha)… I enjoy just about anything I can do with a bike… building xBikes, collecting Bridgestones, and especially volunteering at the Coop and helping others get their bikes back on the road!

    Next on my Radar is to find a RB-T to build out, load it up with Racks and Bags and start doing some overnight rides!
