Hello,
I recently discovered upon squeezing my rear wheel into my frame that the dropouts are a few mm closer together than they should be. The wheel now rests too close to the non-driveside. The frame was squeezed together in transit from Tokyo to Moscow or Moscow to Barcelona. I contacted the manufacturer in Chattanooga, TN. They can realign the stripped frame and also clean and re-decal it for a reasonable fee. What I am interested in knowing is whether anyone knows of a bicycle shop in Tokyo that is qualified and able to realign a titanium frame so that I can be back on the road more quickly.
Any comments or suggestions are appreciated greatly. Incidentally, I read a forum thread suggesting buying a spare frame to ride while the frame is being repaired. I like to work with Cycle Paradise Shops for used bicycle goods. However, I wonder if anyone knows where to get a great used frame in Tokyo?
