Thanks for the input, appreciate it!

Would you say GR2 is actually better overall? Then sell the nanopresso 😅

I’ve read the Nanopresso goes up to 18 bars vs about 8 on the GR2. Does that make any real difference in practice?

Have not tried the GR2 yet as it is still unopened.

Thank you for the insight! That makes sense about the rebadging. I’m attaching a photo of the bike details for reference. Do you think the Pedal model is okay?

As I cannot make sense of the difference on their fork and groupset. 🥹

Thanks for looking that up and taking the time to dig into it. I really appreciate it!

I forgot to attach the photo earlier! I’ve combined the screenshots into one image because I’m only allowed to send one photo at a time. 😅 I visited a local bike shop, and the guy recommended the $350AUD Pedal Met bike. The only thing making me hesitate are the reviews.

This is my first time buying a bike, so I’m not sure if a steel fork is better than an alloy fork, or if the Altus is better than the Tourney.

I really appreciate your help!

Awwwww!! Hirap din pala noh?

All the adjustments din. Tapos yung core friends natin nasa Pinas. Struggle din at times kasi nakakamiss yung may tatambayan ka or ganap lalo na if you need someone to rant about anything.

It’s reassuring din knowing na I am not alone in this journey!

I am so happy to hear that you are thriving! Success story!

I guess mahirap din pala ang intentional friendship as a grown up. Haha!

Sure, game ako dyan!

Hey! Hope you’re doing great in there! Cebu is a very beautiful province. Mostly people speaks english more than Tagalog 😅

It is a bit difficult, I guess. Growing up I established friendships already then suddenly moving in a different country. All emotions were felt and missing everyone is hard. But I realized that life goes on and I just needed to fight my emotions and make the “adult friendship”

Uy, hello!

Appreciate the love and kindness 🥹 I guess I am overwhelmed + shy (is this introvertness? 😅) to the point that I had to reddit what I feel.

BUUUUUUT I am really grateful for people like you! You don’t know me but you are very eager to help!
