I can honestly say that, from what I could gather from my stilted conversation with the guy in Carnival, that is quite possibly the pisto Holy Grail for Tokyo residents. Two problems though:
I don't know what they'd be marking it up by, so the amount they'd want to give you might not be that huge (especially if they like to double their money).
How would you get it out there? My flight was only 290gn, so you could potentially take the bike out, flog it, buy something Keirin and still cover the cost? I think that shipping it would be quite costly.
If they ask though, how much would you want for it?[/quote]
this is sort of my idea for next year when i go there for my gap year, take a couple of english frames out there, merican and bob jackson, sell them for a bit more than i paid and then buy some stuff to bring back at the end of my stay, but as well as frames do they have a shortage of brooks saddles there, or any other small quintessentially british bike things?
