Hey, neither do I, but maybe someday I'll think about getting one if I can't find what I'm looking for. I kinda doubt that'll ever happen though, because there are SO MANY bikes out there. If you can't find something you like you aren't trying hard enough. Does it really cost that much to ship a bike to Japan? Or if having a drilled fork is the issue, can't you just buy a roadie fork and install it on whatever bike you buy?
Thanks for being sorry, but I think by "tubing and geometry are very important" they meant they want you to come in and have a pretty good idea about tubing and geometry.
Sorry if you misread it, but that was a rough translation.
btw, it costs about $100 dollars for a frame to ship, plus whatever they decide to tax you.
The problem is you're always buying something you weren't able to try (size-wise) before buying.
