I had no idea! From an (un)dated article by Sheldon Brown:

Bridgestone is an enormous multinational company, one of the largest tire companies in the world...and a fairly small bicycle company, with its own factory in Japan. In the late 1980s and early'90s, its U.S. bicycle division was run by Grant Petersen, a brilliant, talented and idiosyncratic designer.

I'm actually trying to sell it but the bike doesnt give me much detail. It just says a 300 bridgestone. Its in fair condition but i think it may be worth 180.00 as is.

Are there any model numbers on it or can you get it to compare to a picture in the Shelton Brown articles? Is it a road or mountain bike? Can you post a photo of it here?

You know, I had been wondering about that myself. Better than trying to do attachments. Thanks for the info, Tony!

This might be a good idea for a discussion topic. Chainlink Tech Geek advice. Someone that non-tech members could consult with if they having problems with inputting photos, discussions, replies, joining groups, etc., etc., etc. Whether on a computer, smartphone or tablet.
