If anybody is interested I have an 87 T700 (62 cm) in the garage waiting to
be put together..the white one that somebody posted a link to earlier.
It's not free but if you can pick up in Seattle I'm willing to let it go
pretty cheap...$120?...$80 without wheels. I've got all the original main
Hi Minh,
Maybe this should be in its own thread, but here are some pics and info
about the Bridgestone 450 650b conversion. I hope they help.
The 450 rides great with the 650b's. I used Riv stock Velocity wheels. At
first I attempted to use Schwalbe Marathons on them, but I couldn't fit
them
Robert! did you document the 650B conversion of the 450? I always
considered doing that but was unsure on the max tire fit (hetres?) and how
well it rode with 650B. I'm generally happy with min and 700x28, but it
seems like a cheap way to test out 650B

Thanks for the comments, everyone!
I decided that I'm going to build this up as my commuter/light tourer,
replacing my current too-small-for-me Bridgestone 450 of the same year, or
possibly the year after. I've been riding the 450 to 5 miles work every day
for almost 8 years, and I even toured
With 650B wheels, this bike is going to be AWESOME! With sidepull brakes, it's an ideal conversion. It'll look better than the following photo, which already looks good:http://www.sheldonbrown.com/bridgestone/1987/pages/bridgestone-1987-22.htm-Original Message-

+1 from me, a neighbor was moving out a few years ago and left a
Bridgestone 450 in the recycling area. i'm still riding it today :)

I also found a Bridgestone on a curb once! There was a construction site
with a big pile of trash, saw a bike laying in it. It turned out to be a
really great silver Bridgestone (unsure of model, but some kind of road
bike) with full Suntour groupset, including bar-end shifters, cyclone
Strange, I never noticed that the T700 has no eyelets on the later models.
Looks like even the RB-T is lacking them! I'm guessing that 'touring'
bikes were not fashionable in the late 80's, so B-stone could get away
without adding these features.
I might have some P-clamps in my parts bin,
I read somewhere that the T in RB-T stood for the word triple. The RB-T is
a great bike, but not a full tourer. It's a lot like the Rambouillet but with
cantis.
I don't know what the T in T700 stood for.

The chainstays on the T700 in years 1985 and 1987 were 42.5 cm long. That's
what the catalogs say.
It sounds like you found a road frame with good tire clearance. Enjoy!
