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. /PaulN

Good luck with that. A pristine complete '92 RB-1 went
for $1100 and change on E-bay the other day.

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.
