I liked the graphics more than the earlier bike, and it had the eyelets and the Ritchey fork crown that made it so cool. So, I built it up and trained/raced on it for 1500 miles before a car turned left in front of me and I landed on the hood. I was ok but the frame was slightly bent. You needed to run your finger along the down tube to tell. The driver paid to replace the frame with a TSX Bianchi, and I was left with a damaged, but beautiful, end of an era RB-1. A few months ago, I built the old frame up with some SunTour Superbe Pro parts (also end of an era stuff) and the original stem and bars. I have put it on display in my office, and hundreds of employees have admired it. People stop by to ask about it all the time. It's really pretty, and I've mounted it on top of my cabintets on a special rig that lets the wheels spin. I'm sad that my time riding the 94 was so short, but I feel like I'm doing the bike some real justice. I still ride the 91 and feel it's the best overall bike I have ever owned.alhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02877634388257113253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2821760991275369602.post-3390278688307279422007-04-25T08:14:00.000-05:002007-04-25T08:14:00.000-05:00Bradley - Not yet, but I will be sure to post an u...Bradley - Not yet, but I will be sure to post an update once it is finished.

I think the only difference is the Ishiwata tubing instead of the Tange. <BR/><BR/>Mine's got Campy Delta brakes and one of those old Mavic cranks. It's still 7 speed with down-tube shifters (the bar ends wore out).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2821760991275369602.post-35431947482167226792007-01-02T18:57:00.000-06:002007-01-02T18:57:00.000-06:00Could not agree more.
