1993 bridgestone rb-1

this is another one everbody needs.  (i've never had one, but still.)  the last great lugged production racing bike.  after that lugged steel was uber hip or bespoke elegant and no more racy racy lest you crunch it and have to wait 5 years and drop 5 grand to replace it.  the last two years had that cool ritchey fork crown but clunky lugs.  the 91 & 92's had a little bit more graceful lugs.  this is a 93 i guess.  i wouldn't want to get a mountain bike for racing with the mb-1 geometry at this point, because the more modern longer top tube and sloping design just works too well in the woods for everything from cross country and racing to serious big fun play, but this rb-1 design is pretty much perfect--or at least way better than good enough--and it's good enough for anybody even today.  too bad those shitty carbon chinese frames didn't copy this fantastic road geometry...
