this was part 2 of the vintage bike ride series. Start off at Tiendesitas..enter market market..go to libingan ng mga bayani... exit naia 3 terminal enroute to roxas blvd then macapagal Mall of asia. Some of the cyclists decided to meet us at Mcdonalds macapagal so after we arrive i took fotos of their vintage bikes there.
i have to take time out say thank you to boyet de la cruz of team mjy bike zone for selling this campy single pivot aero brake caliper one day befor the scheduled vintage bike ride....without this my funny bike would not have been built in time for the vintage bike ride part2.
