That was great buy, the Bridestones of that era were among the best production bikes available, both the RB series road bikes and the MBs.
This is a beautiful piece of Bridgestone bike history right here! I love the colors and what kind of steel/CrMo is it made of? I have an 84 Bridgestone 300 that I’ve put through multiple different iterations and I’ve finally found a sweet spot as a fixed/ss w deep dish rims and 32 tires; I’m fully leaning into the heavier specs for that luxury car type ride. If I find another in my size (or my girl’s) I will not hesitate to do it again
The Tange MTB sticker is odd to me. I thought these bikes used Tange 2 tubing. I wonder why this one would have been made with more stout tubes.
Had an RB2 one summer that I loved riding. It had a double up front though. Never seen one with a triple, or heard about the XO inspiration part. Seems like a sweet bike.
does anyone know if a Chris King headset would fit this bike??
