Bridgestone RB-1

1992 with OEM parts


1991 RB1 Synergy 

Made of Ishiwata 022E tubing. These 2 framesets are almost identical except for the rear brake cable routing. The '91 Synergy has 3 cable guides that are offset to the left of the top tube while the '92 one has 2 guides that split the housing in two at the top of the top tube.
