My 93 Bridgestone RB-1/7
I finally got this thing looking decent enough to take some pictures of it. Its the bike I have wanted since I got in to road bikes. Still looking for some classy white bar tape like it had stock. Its my little oddball.

Very sweet! I just installed some white Fizik microtex on a build and am hoping it resists dirt more than cloth would.

I have a NOS RB-1 from 1989 and the white handlebar tape that was on it was a dead match for modern Action Bicycles basic white padded vinyl tape. should be easy to find.
