Hi all,

Quoted message said:

Recently I got an old Bridgestone Sport bike (no model name!) with

Shimano Altus/SR/Suntour equipment, ... really needing a restoration ...
^^ ^^

that's a really low-end bicycle. Unless you had a childhood love
affair with that bike, most people would not bother restoring it,
because even in NOS condition the bike is worth only $100 or $150.
Although the frame may be good, the parts are of low quality and will
not last very long and will go out of adjustment more frequently.

Why not sell the bike and buy a real bridgestone race quality bike for
$300, and restore it ?? Your effort would not be wasted on such a
bike, and it should last for 10 or 20 years of hard use after the
restoration.

Or buy a brand new never built red 57.5 cm Bridgstone RB 1 frame + fork
[1992]. I have one. However, I wouldn't consider selling it for below 1K.

Good luck with that. A pristine complete '92 RB-1 went for $1100 and
change on E-bay the other day. http://tinyurl.com/2deak. Don't get
me wrong, I like that bike. In fact I owned one, teethed myself on
it, so to speak.

To be quite honest, I am with love with my Bridgstone RB 1 frame and probably
would not sell it. I also have a complete 92 RB-1 with less than 300 miles on
it which I would not sell either. I also have a 93 Bridgstone RB 1 with about
40K on it and I would not sell it either. End of story.

Well, I also have a KickBike... [not for sale either].

Bridgestone, you say? Get some decals of Fred Flinstone, or better yet,
that guy from the comic strip "BC" that scoots around on the stone
wheel.

Not factory original, granted, but appropriate, considering their
retrogrouch ideals.
