Any idea where to purchase the original seatpost binder bolt that came
with the RB-1? It appears to be a different configuration than a
standard Sugino or Campy bolt.

Thanks in advance!!

Dear Dave,

Am I right in assuming that this is a Bridgestone RB-1
bicycle? Or did you mean some accessory seat model RB-1?

Given how many part numbers may resemlbe RB-1, it may be a
little like asking for "Dave" on rec.bicycles.tech--where
you are now the 136th Dave on a list kept to remind me that
your ever-growing numbers are not just my imagination.

Dear Carl -

Cheesus keeerist, man, you been hangin' with JB?!! Any cyclist worth
their Huffy would know the RB-1 as the classic Bridgestone and would
know better than to think or wonder if it could be anything else.

I bet you can't come up with one bike component from any mfr with that
designation. Google away, my man.

Dear Carl,

Yes he does mean the bike and any rider worth their Huffy would have
known that. Sorry Dave, I don't know your binder bolt but Sheldon
Brown just posted great gobs of bob-ish information at
www.harriscyclery.com and he will probably give you the answer
momentarily.

They are probably still using the same part in something. If not they may
have a box full in the back room.

That little seatlug casting was used by other builders too.
I don't think the nut is available.

You can cut a section from the nut of a standard seat
binder bolt or an allen brake nut and use a regular M6 cap
screw for the other side.

If you don't mind a little protrusion, just use a brake
mounting nut with an M6 bolt as is.
