Hi

I generally get on the Japanese equivalent of ebay, which is Yahoo auctions Japan.

This is cycling/bicycles with the search term "disk" (as in brakes in Japanese) ordered by buy it now price

and current price

I have never tried disk brakes, but I tend to find that my braking is limited by traction especially in the wet. I am sure that the modulation of disk-brakes is better, leading to better control of traction and faster stopping times, but I wonder at how much faster.

This being Japan where there were once many, and there remain a few, cool bike builders I often find myself looking at vintage Japanese chromoly. This is the buy it now price ordered search of yahoo auctions Japan in the bicycles section with keyword chromoly in Japanese.

A lot of the frames are rather small of course but if it were me I'd search for a vintage chromoly.

This 56cm Panasonic is about 800 USD
