Keep this going, his biggest concern is sourcing components which are getting rare as hen's teeth, some simple componentry can be delayed as long as several months at the very minimum.

A friend of mine wants to open a new bike shop. He's already got a premises thats trading as a successful workshop and he employs 3 FT guys on the spanners. In this new premises, he wants to move away from the fixing and focus more on selling product.
Whats your thoughts? What areas would you focus on? He has realistic ideas on what it could take year on year but currently is struggling to get any more accounts set up. He has no bike brands on board yet.
