ok, so, i still havnt bought a bloody bike. and im back on here with more questions.
im in Japan. and im 6ft2. Having been to 5 different bike shops, (and been told at one im the tallest customer theve ever had)... i cant get a fixed that fits me! ive been looking for a 58cm, and the only 58cm fixed OTP bikes in Japan still in stock are the Cannondale Capo. and there are only 2 of them. There arnt even Langsters or Fuji Tracks.
Soooo. i can buy one, for 140,000yen ( £700) OR i can get a Surly, mailorder from JensonUSA for $700, which after postage comes to about half of the Cannondale.
SO.. so i risk mailorder and import tax for the surly.. or pay a months wages for a Cannondale. i just want a bike!!!
