So what are your recommendations for finding track frames in Tokyo? I am here now (live here) but the usual suspects (Punch, Carnival, ...) either don't have my size (Punch) or are super pricey (e.g. Carnival). Prices seem to have gone up a lot recently as well, even on yahoo auctions (japanese version).

EMT, I think the best (cheapest) option is the bike jumble sale, which I missed again this year. It's on twice a year - next one is in about 4 months. It's way out west of Tokyo on the banks of some river.
Deathhare knows the name of the place - I've forgotten it.

Oh, and anyone know this joker? Said he was from SF. And that's not his ride; he somehow got the shop owner to lend him his personal bike.
