Philippines - Folding Bike Collection
 

With the availability of Japanese surplus bicycles in the Philippines, folding bicycles have been running around Metro Manila, specially in our city - Malabon. Starting this thread for Filipinos with folding bicycles.

Pregio/16
 

I am Mang Boy, a bicycle collector and trader. My first folding bicycle, a Pregio/16. Installed a Nexus front dynamo hub, a Nexus 3-Speed hub, Alloy Rims, Printed White Side Tires, and Stainless basket / carrier. Frame is black chromed (Titanium Finish). Premio/16 in purple color below is the original status. For my bicycle collection check http://www.flickr.com/search/?q=sancycles

Breezer I3
 

Got this folding bicycle with a different sticker name and found out later from surfing the net that it's a Breezer I3. Installed were the following: Nexus 4-Speed internal hub, Nexus front dynamo hub, new handlebars, umbrella holder, hardlock, flashing front / rear lights, and lighted pole in the front wheel. Frame is newly painted with new stickers.

Wow that looks brilliant.

nice collection! what is the thing on the black rod attached to the handlebars on the Shake? Also, what qualities do you like in each bike? which is your favorite?

That's an umbrella holder. New images were added. With so much Jitensha's (Commuters bike from Japan) coming in, I prefer uniqueness of frame design and components (accessories) made of stainless or stainless steel. Brand names such as Bridgestone, National, Miyata, Maruishi, Panasonic, and Marukin are usually in demand. I prefer National Bicycles for the commuters bike class.

Yay Mang Boy, you posted your pics here!

I absolutely love :love: that umbrella holder! Wouldn't mind getting one if it were available here in the US.

Those would be awesome, but I fear the winds here in SoCal would make me do a cycling Mary Poppins impression...:lol:
