Hi to all of you out there,
I work in a cycle shop in Windsor and we are hoping to expand into the Road/Triathlon market but we have a problem. As we atm only stock a few road bikes we don't get many customers of that market and therefore dont have an advanced knowledge of that market and so I am asking for your advice
1. What are the most popular brands out there? e.g Look, Shimano etc
2. What accessories would we need to stock for the road market other than the ones I have listed? We already stock some shoes, Tri bars, bottle cages, shimano drivetrain componants, pedals and carbon forks.
3. If you were looking for a new road/triathlon bike which brand in particular would you be looking at. We cannot stock all brands due to other cycle shops in the area, but we can order in

thanks for your time and your advice will go to good use

    I would say Cervelo would be the most popular Tri/TT bike brand, with Zipp wheels. Also Assos/other good quality clothing.

    However, I have to say, it would be difficult to get another high quality road bike shop in the area. AW cycles seem to have it sewn up.
    You live and learn. At any rate, you live
