Welcome 2017! Been a while and now coming right at you with a new bike.
This time we got something special a relic from the late 80's Bridgestone grandtech GR27.
This one a bit of an oddball a 700c, full-size, steel, folding bike from a tire manufacturer and it is PERFECT for me.
The story
Sold some bike parts, got a tip from a friend, visited the seller, bought the bike.
Grand scheme of things
Family lives in the middle of Manila on a limited space so storing full-size bikes can be a problem. Folding bikes the obvious solution so I purchased the Giant FD806 just for that. The 806 fine in the city and hilly Cavite province but I want a bike that can DO IT ALL.
