Hi Littleal,
I am in Gimhae just north west of Pusan. Seoul is a bit far for me but it is the only bike shop listed on the Surly website in South Korea... Maybe Ill have to make the trip? At current prices 1,300,000 won is only 830 dollars. I have e-mailed plush bikes a couple of times and they have never gotten back to me. I would be willing to pay a finders fee if you could talk to the guy to make sure they could import one in my size!
What do you think of this lespo? Would it work? Would it be safe? Im only here for a year or two so maybe a cheap-o bike is the way to go. Plus how scary would it be to leave a nice bike like that locked up next to a bunch of 100 dollar bikes?
