Enjoy :D

Thanks man. It's actually a Pearl 90 but I want to try out a 100. I can buy a 100 jaguar but I think it will be too steep. I want to update these pictures soon. Just got Time Atac pedals and a Fizik Arione saddle. So comfortable compared to Regal

Cool, Cool.

Funny, im 5'9" and own a 54 Samson NJS - favorite bike ever. Anyways, once i owned a 54 Bridgestone and i loved her too. NJS are so solid, nimble and original, not too mention fast with the right formula.

Now for me, i use a 100 Pearl with a B123 but the drops are too much really. Im swithing to a 40CM b125, should tighten things up for me!

Cheers

Submitted by eddie_el_nene on 11/18/2009.

is 40cm b125 too wide you think ? i just ordered a 38cm Nitto b125. the ones i have right now are 36cm and they hit my knees if i lean forward alot to skid. most of the time i really dont skid like that. i can skid stop while sitting. but when i do try to lean forward i have to be careful. im 5'8 and i see everyone has 100. i want a 100 pearl also. i ju

not really

Submitted by kleansupreme on 11/18/2009.

im used to 42cm b123 and they were heavy ass chrome! i measured my shoulders and they are just about 40cm.

As for the knee thing, i never had a problem with that. Most of my skids are seated to mid skids anyways so my knees never hit..But i bet the 38CM will be perfect for you. It just depends on your shoulder width really, the better the fit, the easier you will be breating..

We are practically the same size person :) you in Socal?

People have told me since the stem is short thy might effect it also. Can't wait to get the 38's to try them out. I'm in chicago.

Ya man. You inspired me :D tomorrow morning will be it's first official ride. By the way you have dura ace hubs right? Will they make a difference if I get them ? And what do you mean by bridgestone to boot? Lol. I love learning new sayings :D

I'm not sure where it came from, but "to boot" is just a more excited way of saying also or in addition. And I love my Dura Ace hubs, I had Formulas before I got these and they are much, much smoother. I would recommend them for sure, but not unless you have the money to spend ya know. Do you know what year your frame is?

Ahh got it. I figured that's what boot meant. Lol. I really do want to experience dura ace hubs. Everyone always say they are alot smoother. As far as year goes I don't know. I see the serial number I think. How can I check? I was just looking at other bridgestone. Alot of them have different logos. I'm wondering what's the difference

Hmm crap, I thought I could tell you but your's is different. Like the first 4 numbers of mine are 9908 and after finding out mine was made in August of 1999, I realized that was the year then the month. My friend's 1996 BS is the same way. But since I can't help you, you can do what I did and email Rene at Tracksupermarket.com and he will tell you.
