Had heard of but never been in to Sigma Sports. Saw this: Internal Google Streetmap and thought... I'm so much richer, for not living in Kingston.
What do you mean you think 64cm is a big frame?

    Ah yes - I live in Inverness and already spent too much money in that shop - especially as they can hardly be described as the cheapest....

    does have a lot of bling - don't really like the shop has to be said, never feels terribly inviting for one.

    Absolute drool-fest. Especially the Italian bike section upstairs. Getting my wheels serviced there this week. Hope it doesn't come out too expensive though...

    Similar but on a smaller scale to say maces in NYC but what if you could click on an item and view the specific details and even buy it?

    thats not a bikeshop......
    there is no one covered in oil, everything is shiny and clean, there are no tyre marks on the floor.

    cool idea though, although i can see a security issue by being able to scope out where the sensors are.....

    .... just a thought ;)

    It's a bit weird seeing your church splashed all over the interwebs.

    Should be fairly straight forward; you should be able to tag the images with the required metadata which would just be a link back to the catalogue. Would be just like tagging a photo in Facebook.

    The downside is that after the initial novelty the user experience would be very poor and the amount of work required wouldn't make it viable.
