How bicycles are chosen
A bicycle is chosen by intended use — commuting, road, mountain, children — and then by frame size, which most buyers get wrong on their own. Parts and components must be compatible, and enthusiasts search by specification rather than by brand. Servicing is the recurring revenue that keeps a customer attached to a shop, and seasonal storage and maintenance are services almost nobody sells despite obvious demand.
What we build for a bicycle shop
First, bikes organised by use with frame sizing guidance, since fit is what decides satisfaction and returns. Second, parts with compatibility checking, because enthusiasts upgrade constantly and a wrong part is a wasted order. Third, service booking with turnaround stated, which is the relationship that produces repeat business. Fourth, seasonal storage and maintenance packages, plus community rides, both of which turn a transaction into a membership.
