I'd appreciate hearing opinions from the masses.
: Another consideration is unloading the bike after my 10 days are up. I have a Merlin
: Road bike, an AirFriday, and a Cannondale F1000. My thinking is: if I sell a bike,
: I get to buy a new one! It's always easier to convince my wife that way.
: Please contact me if anyone is interested. I'm in Japan now, so Japan inquiries
: are also welcome (email rvat50@email.mot.com).
: One last thing, are you the Wayne Decker from Utica, NY?
No, I'm not from Utica, but I am in NY State.
I'd bring a Mountain Bike - there are a lot of great trails and dirt/gravel roads
that wouldn't be road bike friendly. Bike are expensive
there, so you could do well on a resell- I would just worry
that an expensive bike in the US would find
a very limited market there.
