Hi TCC
Please forgive if this has ever been covered. I used the all powerful search button and it didn't produce a result.
I came here roughly 3 weeks ago with my bike and everything I own. I live here now permanently in Chiba / Tokyo. I have a fully built bike as well as another new frame. I went looking for a reputable shop to build up my new bike (take parts off other and put in new frame). I was referred to Seo Cycle LalaPort in Chiba as they are authorized Cervelo. Great shop and friendly but they simply said NO.
Because I didn't buy the bike there and more importantly I brought it in from a different county, not their distributor, they won't build it.
The manager of the shop was really a great guy and said he would call the cervelo japan distributor abut the problem.
My question is... Has anyone else had this problem and if you want a bike built by an experienced race mechanic in Tokyo / Chiba - who would build a bike that wasn't purchased by that shop?
Thank you so much for any info - I was really surprised when they told me they can't build it!
