1985 Bridgestone T500, silver, 47cm/small-medium

Very low mileage and freshly restored vintage Bridgestone 1980's touring bike, with an excellent setup for city commuting featuring upright bars, Shimano's first ever Deore thumb shifters, fenders for rainy rides, and a rear rack to mount small to standard panniers, or a basket. 3x5 gearing with a wide range to accommodate hills.  The conversion to upright bars with thumb shifters was completed around the time the bike was originally purchased, so all the components are era appropriate. Kept in beautiful condition. We'll shine it up a little extra for you once you fall in love with it. 47cm frame with 27" wheels, perfect for someone around 5'5"-5'7" Original 1985 catalog images included here.
