    If you cannot compete with CRC etc on price then you need to change suppliers.

    Possibly to CRC etc.

    Just buying the few items I've quoted prices for from CRC and Bikediscount.de and the rest at full retail* would give you a total cost of £2835.90.

    *why the fuck you - as a business - would buy anything at "full retail" is beyond me. I've worked in bike shops, I know how easy it is to set up a credit account with suppliers like Chicken and Madison and get things for much much less than you're quoting and on 30 day (or longer) terms.

    You're either buying stock at retail prices, which makes you a total mug or - as I suspect - you're taking the utter cunt out of us, your customers and to an extent, yourself if you think that this business model is going to work.
