My LBS carries that stem. Its not really silver. More like a silver-
white paint and its definitely not polished like the Nitto. H
I think yes. The 62s with 25.4 top tubes sometimes wiggled. So we went
to 28.6 and it stopped.

SOMA sells silver, 26 mm clamp stems in 17 and 40 degree slopes,
though relatively few sizes are in stock at the moment. The 17 degree
VO stems aren't due for a month or two.

Hmm. My 1993 RB-1/7 (57.5cm) has 28.6mm top and down tubes

RB-1 geometries, 191-1994. BIG scans for easy reading:

The RB-1 has about a 70mm BB drop, while most Rivs have 77-80mm of
drop. So, to convert sizes between the two, subtract about 1cm from
the Riv to get the RB-1.
I have a PBH of around 86
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

The RB1 is a traditional road racing bike. You could try the on-line
bike fit program at www.competitivecyclist.com for a guess at a
racing / sporting fit. It returns three different recommendations,
which they call the Competitive, Eddy and French fits. Here are my
dimensions as measured by my

I am not sure how Bridgestones were intended to be sized/fitted. But I
have a 56 c-t (54 c-c) RB-2 and a 57 c-t Romulus. Both have 56.5 top
tubes according to published specs
Take a look at Bridgestone catalogs Sheldon Brown posted on the Harris
Cyclery website. The Bridgestone RB series bikes have steeper seat
tube angles than Rivendells. Not sure about bottom bracket drop since
the catalogs show bottom bracket height.
The 1989 catalog is the first with the RB's.

You'd might want to go by the top tube lengths rather than seat tube
lengths.
