The Japanese export many of their used cars, usually in ultra clean condition because they what new. I love the Japanese mixtes, I only wish they where built taller (most are 19 1/2in frames). They copied the french and made it as good if not better. I have a 1984 Trek mixte (single lower bar) that was built for Trek in Japan. I live in central Florida and nice clean Japanese and Peugeot mixtes are still available, but many are listed as girls bikes and bargain priced. I wish I could save them from people who buy them and abuse them just because they found a cheap used bike.
