The Bridgestone RB-T was a touring road bicycle that Bridgestone introduced in the early 1990s, a time when touring bikes were extremely out of fashion with manufacturers. It belonged to the RB road series that also held the RB-1, RB-2 and RB-3, and Bridgestone fitted it with Avocet slick tires, which are very good tires but hard to sell because many buyers wrongly assume they give poor traction. Sheldon Brown calls it a very nice bike that had trouble competing with the left-over stock of mid-1980s touring bikes still in the pipeline. It was sold by the American division that Grant Petersen led.
