The Bridgestone T700, best bike I've ever owned! Strong as, great geometry, groovy m-bars. Picked it up for NZ$300 from a second hand shop in Auckland and never looked back. Apaprently it was previously owned by a Canadian cycle tourist who I'd love to get in touch with some day to learn a bit about this bike's history. The great thing about this bike is that it's well-nigh unimprovable. The saddle is mine (bought it when I was 13) but the rest is as it came. The handlebars can't be original, since Bridgestone only began producing them around 1994 and this bike is probably a 1985 model.
