As I go to a more Rivendellian sizing, 59 is slightly too small, so I am selling this RB-1, and I'm asking $525 plus shipping. The bike is in excellent shape except that the "Bridgestone" decal on the downtube is missing a letter on each side (an 'o' and an 'n,' I believe) -- paint is in very good condition, with only a couple of very minor dings. Will supply replacement pair of NOS decals to fix this. I'm in Washington DC area; bike's at my folks' house in Denver so I'd have a bike for summer rides in the mountains.
