I'm starting an online business for bike trials and a part of it is going to be a buy/sell system. The plan is to roll it out in the US but I'm curious if European riders could benefit from the system as well. What I'd like to know is if Euro riders buy mostly online or if they have trials equipment at local bike shops that you can buy from? Or what is the percentage you buy from each? I know in the US there are not any trials specific parts in any local bikes shops (at least where I live). If international riders could benefit from the system, obviously I'd like to roll it out with with them in mind as well. So if you live anywhere outside the US (Europe more specifically just because they have a larger rider population), I'd much appreciate any input as to how you shop...where you buy from, how often, how much you spend, etc? Or if anyone knows of any source of market/industry information that would be very helpful as well. Thanks in advance! PS...If you are a rider who has access to such information and would be interested in becoming a member of my board of advisers please PM me.
