Bridgestone RB1 650B Conversion

Though I've always loved this bicycle and how it rode, it's been hanging up dusty and unbuilt for some time now. As the years go by I've been riding fatter tires and this one was very limited in how large a tire would fit. With no room for fenders whatsoever with the standard 700c wheels. Fortunately thanks to Grant Peterson of Rivendell fame, Jan Heine of Bicycle Quarterly and many others who have demanded an alternative to the 700c wheeled machine, 650B wheels and tires along with the longer reach brakes need to accommodate them, are now readily available. Thus a fine riding, yet limited versatility machine, is back on the streets.

a crude yet effective way to mount a candybar bag to moustache handlebars....
