That said there were eyelets on even the RB-1 but it's not like there was an abundance of clearance there. My 1982 colnago actually has more clearance than my early 90's RB1 did - it just didn't have eyelets. Bridgestone made some nice touring bikes though but lots of nice touring and sport-touring bikes came out of Japan back in the day.
