Hi Everyone, I'm in the process of moving and need to downsize the stable.
Sadly this process includes parting with my1985 Bridgestone T700, Size - 25' or 62.5cm (CTC) Images: https://www.dropbox.com/sc/sunlyhu5pk16j8v/AAD_VUvP7XIi3DZnutUhFO9Ta $300, T700 frame, fork, and headset (sealed bearings) + Original Blackburn Welded Aluminum Rear Rack (not adjustable. It will only fit this frame) + 27" wheels if you want them. $75, 180mm Ritchey Triple Cranks, 110bcd (46, 36, 24) $50, Nitto Dirtdrop Stem 100mm reach $50, Nitto Mustache handlebars $40, Sram Road 500 Silver Ergo Levers $40, Tektro R556 Long Reach Brakes $100, Mavic MA2-Black 700C (32 spoke) Wheelset (stickers lost) with Campagnolo Brevet hubs (126mm rear) and freewheel + 1 Mavic MA2 Silver 700C front wheel with Shimano 600 hub Complete bike $550, does not include pedals or saddle. Pricing does not include shipping. Pickup is welcome. My zip code is 90019. Geometry is listed here: http://sheldonbrown.com/bridgestone/1985/pages/26a-bridgestone-geometry.html The catalog page is here: http://sheldonbrown.com/bridgestone/1985/pages/17-bridgestone-t-700.html Modifications are as follows: Cantilever posts were removed, area of post was painted to match, see image. When closely examined in the sun, one can see the variation of paint texture, but the color match is very close and the change is not easily noticed. Although the frame was made to run 27" wheels, it works really nicely with 700c and would be a great candidate for 650b. The fork offset is 60cm. So with 33mm tires, 700c wheels provide 50mm trail. 650b wheels would provide 44mm trail. The trail is great for front loads. In the images, you will see the front load setup that I ran (nitto Marks Rack with Wald Basket). This was a great commute/around town configuration. The frame is a nice touring/shopping frame. The flexibility is medium. For a rider of my weight, 175lbs, the flex of this frame is a nice compromise between the newer larger diameter steel frames (I have the Hilborne), and the thin walled Renolds frames from the 80's. When loaded, it feels really nice. Best, Seth -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
