Hey David
I am having no luck in finding a place that sells cheap bikes under 20000 yen. Does Donkey Hotei sell them at their big store?
I'll see if Make Man sells bikes.
I 'm finding this to be more of a challenge then an adventure.
you got a quick link for make man
just incase i cant find on the net
I'll look for the map too
Thanks

I would need a car to get there.
Can't find a tel. for it.

Makeman Urasoe (near Camp Kinser) is 098-878-2777 and Makeman Tomigusuku (closer to Naha Airport, but heading south) is 098-840-5100.
I haven't seen a bike under 15,000 yen unless it had 1 gear and nothing under 20,000 with gears.
There are 2 bikes sitting out front in my driveway. One is 1 gear and a little older and the other is a 6-speed. They both look like they need a a little TLC and possibly a new chain. However, whichever one of them that you feel needs less work (to get to the Makeman about 1km from my house for WD-40 and a new chain) has your name on it if you come by.
...and if you take one, don't sweat it as they both are likely to sit there until they deteriorate to the point of being an eyesore that forces me to recycle them.

This Manga Souko is also near my house. They have a second store across the street that sells used bikes in a lot better condition that may be within the 20000 yen budget too.

yes, most of them do. but, mainly kids bikes (basic bakes).
OP
Glad I asked. Thanks
Yep. No problem.
I don't imagine repairing one of mine would take more than an hour or two with some WD-40 and a wire brush to get some rust off and a new chain though.
