Just to clarify, the aim IS to create a business, albeit a community based one.
I agree that most of us don't pay highstreet prices for our parts and instead buy online. I would be more then happy for members to have their online goods shipped to the workshop, after all i hate getting home to a note from the postie saying i wasn't in, and then having to collect from your local mail depot.
Also with regard to prices, members would be entitled to a discount on all parts which would bring some prices inline with online prices.
I really appreciate your feedback Dammit. You mention it would be like a bikeshop, and to an extent it would, however it certainly would be very different, the workshop would be central to the premises and the business, and we would encourage people to get stuck in and use our tools, its rare that you can find a shop who will allow use of all tools!
