Sooooo...... My boyfriend works for this company that basically brokers manufacturing with factories in China, and they told him he could endeavor his own project if he wants. So we were talking and we thought that making bike parts to be sold in packages could be kinda cool.. I don't mean anything super technical, we were thinking of combining a package of handlebar grips (oury imitiation), toe clips and lights (knog frog imitation)...... and then each item in the package would match in color.
Purely aesthetic and totally cheesy, yes, but the flashy fixie trend is in full effect over here(and obviously in London, just look at the board... hipsters!). We could sell these to bike shops super cheap, on ebay, etc.
So I'm just wondering what you think of this idea? (other than how obviously trite and bandwagon-hopper-esque it is)
Or maybe somebody has a better idea of what to do with access to very inexpensive manufacturing facilities?
