Hi all,
I'm thinking of opening an online retail shop selling bikes, parts and accessories.
Anyone got any good name suggestions?
Sorry if this is posted in the wrong place! Didn't know where to put it!
Thanks
Gary

Online to start with, in talks with a few distributors already. 2 employees to start with, stocking a few bikes but not many to test the water.
Selling low end entry level bikes from £130 up to about £700 and kids bikes to start with (xmas is just around the corner). Accessories and parts to follow.
If all goes well a retail shop may open in about April 2010!0 -

Reason why I ask, and please don't tkae this the wrong way - a few days ago you were asking about budget bikes and what is best, and equipment. Are you ready to delve into the market yet?0 -

yeah none taken. I'll not be doing anything specialised as yet, I've a good retail and sales background and have just set up a successful business so thought I'd give this a go. After researching bikes that I might buy I found there was nothing decent in my budget,doing this will help me help others in the same situation get slightly better bikes on a tight budget!
Any suggestions and advice would be much appreciated!

hmm how about 'crank'The trouble with having an open mind, of course, is that people will insist on coming along and trying to put things in it.
