Grant Petersen has his ideas about bikes, but I don't where he was going with Bridgestone killed it. There were lots of Japanese bike companies making nice lugged steel bikes, off the top of my head I can think of Fuji, Kabuki, Lotus, Miyata, Nishiki and Panasonic in addition to Bridgestone. What killed all of them was the unfavorable Yen to US dollar exchange rate at the same time that Taiwan started spitting out lighter and cheaper aluminum frame bikes that all the Freds flocked to. Bridgestone RB 1's and RB 2's are still prized by many cyclists and Rivendell continues on. Hopefully they are still around when I give up my Fredliest aspirations.Lieutenant Oblivious.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213956784784062266.post-5585000535307150222016-06-26T19:22:29.761-04:002016-06-26T19:22:29.761-04:00B-Snob....I own 4 Rivy's live on LI and drive ...B-Snob....I own 4 Rivy's live on LI and drive a Ford....Love each one!!...their bikes are the best....For you... buy a Hilson , custom paint, put on some Schwalbe Little Bens 700x38's and enjoy......'([:{> #PepesayswhatAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213956784784062266.post-8172964219155761362016-06-26T17:39:01.912-04:002016-06-26T17:39:01.912-04:00When a thrill goes up my leg, it's usually sci...When a thrill goes up my leg, it's usually sciatica.
