My RB-1 measures ST: 59cm C-T and TT: 59cm C-C. So I think the larger Bridgestone's had a bit lower frames than most other frames at that time. I usually ride a 56-57cm road frames and 120mm stems. But with a 100mm the RB-1 fit like a glove. The shorter stem also reduce the the wheel flop effect from my handlebar bag.
