Spoks, lots and lots of spoks!

But as a serious answer just be sure to have plenty of oustide parking bays (not sure how shops get this fundamental concern wrong), friendly staff and yes.....more spoks!

On-one Pompino, loads of polo players buy them. I would have probably bought one sooner if I could have seen one in a showroom.

Just from a few looks, I think quite a few Polo players think the On-One Pomps are popular, so maybe a few of those?

Lots and lots of track hubs and if you have any plans to do any more alloy track frames get them in ASAP. If deep carbon clincher rims get sorted some of them too please

Ok serious suggestions to make your shop worth doing, IMO.
Pompino built as a polo bike sound like good idea. Another one built as a hub geared tourer or fixed winter hack with slick mudguards and a middle-range components.
One or two of your plastic road bikes. There's a real lack of roadie bikes in east London.
A couple of single speed and geared ATBs.
None of above are extremely well represented in hipsterland. And they're all things On One/PX do well.
Best of luck with the shop.
Oh, and cider.

This. I'm about to buy one.
And, backpacks are the new messenger bags, you heard it here first.

This sounds like good news. Would be awesome to be able to see some of your kit before buying.
Track frames carbon or otherwise...thats what makes me tick.

Tynan bought all the worlds stock last year.
Ah-up London, us Northerners here at Planet X are opening a little showroom at
6 Greatorex Street, Whitechapel, London, E1 5NF.
Thought you lot could give us some hints at the sort of thing we should consider stocking and what sort bike builds you think London is after.
We can get our hands on all sorts of stuff and especially good links with the Italians...
Any help would be amazing.
Come see us and we'll buy you a pint.
