Bstone on ebay -thought this fork was never manufactured??

Big (62 cm) Bstone RB-1 on ebay. A beauty, but I thought this fork was only in pictures and never actually manufactured: nice!

But I don't think that's '94. I believe that fork was produced only in 1993. I might be wrong though. Great bike nonetheless. I love my 1993 RB2. :)

The twin-plated fork crown was indeed made, just not the super fancy one that TR designed for Grant (Bstone). You see this one on '93s and 94s, I think, anyway, I'll look among the Bstones in the basement (off to Phoenix I am this weekend to teach). I've spent more on paint restorations on these perfectly nice but honestly nothing realllly _that_ special bikes than any sane person should consider. There are so many Rivendells around now and a Toyo-built Rambouillet is about, oh, a million times better made...but all that said, RB-1s (even 2s!) are swell bikes.

It's nice to see some maniac spend money on a great old bike but that threadless conversion has gotta' go.

Looks like the one I used to own.....except it was blue.....and had a quill.

Nice.

I want to buy this one for the stable. Always wanted a 1.

Now, can someone distract the other half?
