    This guy can probably help, Stephen is his name. Otherwise I could help, I've just come back from there last week with my wife and daughter where I spent most of my time at bike shops.

    I wish I could speak the lingo - they have some great bike websites - well they look great.

    I can read a little bit as well, I don't mind looking up stuff. Use a translator like BabelFish too.

    Yahoo Auction Japan has some good stuff. I don't know what "Trade Me" is, but yahoo.jp is like Ebay.

    If you do get registered there, the difficult thing isusing a payment method.

    I think okshon.com is the company that runs an english-language 'skin' on top of yahoo.jp, which makes payment and shipping a bit easier to sort out.

    A guy I know from another forum uses them quite a bit for old jap bike parts.

    Google it - translate web page Japanese to English. Plenty of options

    and / or
