sorry to hear about the crunch RM,

From what I can see is maybe time to go after the people who need to have the dusted up bike to bring their rig in for a really cheap service. Things that doesn't cost too much for you and not too much time, you might be able to make it.

Time really isn't for pushing Colnago, Cervelo or even high end Specialized. I think yo can find a niche above the big box store (stay out of their way since no way to compete against them). Be creative and think beyond the norm. Maybe get into supporting skateboarders too?? who knows...

Was reading just released Fed report. pretty dismal and I think its being optimistic. Yes more dusted bikes will be coming out.

And yes I found a receipt for my Panasonic bike bought back in the early part of '80s WHOA!!! I thought it was expensive at $560.00 I also found my litespeed bill. That was $2,000 back in the '90s. and now HOW MUCH ??

yes accidental cyclists will be out there in force. Thinking about Margo's Una was it called the single speed. noticed it had brake hood on both sides instead on just one side ???? no brake for the rear... Just dreaming, had to take a pay cut last month so I'm poor right now. And I do see our division being scuttled in third or fourth quarter
