Bridgestone RB2 road bike 52cm Custom Refurbished

Experience the pinnacle of practical performance with the 1994 Bridgestone RB-2-a road bike born from the visionary mind of Grant Petersen, during his legendary tenure at Bridgestone USA. The RB-2 embodies Petersen’s philosophy: bikes should be lively, reliable, and built for real-world riding, not just racing.

This 1994 RB-2 shares its nimble, responsive geometry with the flagship RB-1, delivering confident handling and a lively ride, but at a more accessible price point thanks to slightly more economical tubing and components

• It features an eclectic selection of quality parts, chosen for function over fashion, bucking industry trends to deliver a unique, reliable build. Original Shimano RX100 group sill has plenty of miles in it

• Crafted from high-quality Chromoly steel tubing for comfort and durability, the RB-2 is built to last, with a ride quality that smooths out rough roads and inspires confidence mile after mile. The classic lugged frame construction add style that is missing from modern production bike.

• It puts you in a position to ride hard or cruise comfortably, making it as versatile as it is fast Classic road dimensions ensure speed and efficiency, while the steel frame offers a forgiving ride.

• Upgraded for urban riding with Continental Gatorskins tires in a modern 700c x 28mm size  

• This is the last and arguably finest year of the Grant Petersen era at Bridgestone-a time now revered by collectors and riders alike for its innovative, rider-focused designs.

•  The RB-2 is prized for its ride quality, handling, and understated style. It’s a bike that stands out for its substance, not just its looks

•  Designed for the real world, the RB-2 is perfect for commuting, spirited weekend rides, or simply enjoying the road ahead-just as Petersen intended

“The best use of a bicycle is commuting, it’s not racing or competing or recreation or anything like that. Ultimately its best use is getting cars off the roads.”- Grant Petersen
