I “collect” very few things, but I’ve been on an idle (wishful) lookout for a Bridgestone XO-1 for years.
And then within the span of a month I found one online, bought it, reassembled it, fixed a few issues, and took it on its first test ride.
From the side-pull brakes and the “Tusk” (cream) color, I’d say this is the original 1991 model (it was made for three years, ‘91-‘93).
Almost all components are original, but I want to figure out good dual-sided pedals and maybe a minimal rack (and may make a concession to a different saddle depending how I like the original 1990s Avocet), and will probably switch in smaller tires so I can fit on fenders, but it rides…
