i have an iron horse yakuza kumicho 2005, and i went to a bike shop today to get the last parts for my bike (rims, and a gear casset) and the size rim i need is 12 x 150... but the guy said my bike is only compatible with a maxle hub. (clip on) because there are just two holes on my back triangle (and not two slots) and basically, i am trying to get my bike done cheap. so he looked in his little mechanics book, and he said that the only maxle axle rims that are 12 x 150 are like $700.00 and that is WAAAAAAY outta my price range! so i was wondering if i could put a bolt on axle that would fit my frame on my frame and just take apart the hub every time i take the rim off... PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!

no, bolt ons are only 135mm, you need the 150, you could find a cheap hub rim and have it laced up for less
