What freaks me out is that Golden Age Bridgestones are now 20 years old, and back in the early 90's I saw them as having evolved so much from the mountain bikes of the early Stumpjumper era. 1983 to 1992 seemed like so much time when I was thinking about bikes in the early 90's. But now, it's been 20 years since '92 and it seems go have gone so much faster than the 9 years from '83 to '92. Age, I guess, perceived through the lens of bike enthusiasm!
But I will say there has been a lot of evolution since 2000 in the kinds of bikes I like to ride now (Riv-style All-rounders), and that has been tremendous fun! -----Original Message----- >From: dougP <[email protected]> >Sent: Sep 28, 2012 5:36 PM >To: RBW Owners Bunch <[email protected]> >Subject: [RBW] Re: Riv/Special Blend > >You mention "another version" & the pix label is "V.3".
