- Bridgestone is not a high-volume company and doens't appear to be interested
- in becoming one. The bikes they sell in the U.S. are desgined and spec'ed
- for this market. The bikes they sell in Japan are designed for that market.
- I wouldn't expect to see them in the U.K. anytime soon. Have you seen their
- catalog? It's a good read.
