1960.0. "City Bike info needed" by TUNER::RONEY () Wed Jun 05 1991 15:12

    I'm in the market for a couple of city bikes. I've looked at the
    Bridgestone, Univaga and the Miyata. Can you folks give me some
    suggestions on what are the pros and cons between these bikes?
    
    I'm leaning toward the Bridgestones for $319 each with extras thrown
    in. The Miyata is more money and the Univaga really didn't turn me on.
    I've driven the Bridgestone and the Miyata, not the Univaga.
    
    appreciate any info and suggestions,

1960.1I'd recommend bridgestone to anyoneABACUS::SOFIOFri Jun 07 1991 12:3310
    I've got a Bridgestone, and have a bunch of friends that have them, too.
    
    Nobody has had any complaints about their bikes- they all seem to be
    good machines, at a decent price. These are all MTB's, and everyone
    that has them rides VERY hard. I expect that the city bikes will be
    plenty reliable...
    
    Have fun,

    Hi Ed,
    
    Glad to heard your bike is doing fine. Are you still blowing off disc
    to go Mt. biking? BTW, I think Ed has a MB-4. 
    
    The CB-1 and CB-0 for the Bridgestone line has some good write up in
    Bicycling Mag. I have not had a return on those yet? If you need more
    info, just give me a buzz and I can send you over a catalog.
    
    Good Luck,
    
    Dave
