Where the internal gearing really shines, though, is it's ability to handle shifts up or down without any drivetrain issues. For sure, carrying loads and deliveries (like what Stu does) this is very important.
Well, if you really mean "tout terrain" then I suppose you need some exotic monster from the US.

Here's Toei's price list for frames, which looks pretty good to me, given that the frames are made to your measurements.
(Me, no, I've never bought anything from, or made by, Toeisha.)
I don't thing the hub was actually designed to deal with what Stuart puts his through.

I bought this one a year ago, Reynolds 725, an improvement on 531 specs: http://www.ridgeback.co.uk/bike/panorama#details (frame/fork only)

90,000 yen for a steel touring frame?!?! (mac users, use shift-jis to view) You could get a custom Bob Jackson or some such for that money.
Jeez, get an off-the-shelf surly LHT for far less than half that, or, better, talk to GSAstuto about a custom Ti design (for a little more?).

Hi folks,
I have been following my thread with great interest...
But, the question remains.."are there any specialist touring bike shops in Tokyo?"
I'm guessing.... not.
I am looking for a touring bike that i can either buy from above mentioned bike shop or build up myself using touring frame, rohloff, SON, nitto racks 26" rims. I would like to tour next year (S24O and building to more) and the project will be fun over winter.
Thanks again.

But jdd, even if Trek is a global company, Evans and Dawes are British brands (even if made in China, Vietnam or somewhere). Isn't packing and sending to Japan problematic or expensive or both?
