Hey guys!
I'm Naz, originally from Sheffield, England but living in Tokyo for the next 12 months studying Japanese. I'm looking for a good place to buy a road bike within the 100,000Y - 110,000Y range.
Being a rock/mountain climber I've always enjoyed cycling as a way of keeping fit but never actually owned a road bike back in England due to how much of a nightmare (and health hazard) it was riding on the road. Since I've been in Tokyo I've done a few leisure trips including the Yamanote Line and Tokyo to Yokohama and back (albeit on 'Granny' bikes) and I've really enjoyed how easy it is to cycle on the road over here. I really want to get a serious bike and start some longer journeys, see the city and generally stay in shape.
I've had a look at a few cycle shops online but my Japanese is very limited so I couldn't make much out of them, could someone suggest a good place to buy a fairly decent bike up to 110,000? I'm not really too chuffed whether its brand new or used as long as it's reliable, light and comfortable.
Cheers, Naz.
