Who works in the cycling industry?

[spandex]

I know I have not been on here that much over the last year or so. But I have been thinking for many years now how many of us work in the Cycling Industry? I know there is quite a few but there is a lot of new people on here that I don't know.

I have just started Yourspokes a new Specialist wheel building and custom spoke cutting company.

Not so much the cycling industrie though it involves delivering stuff by use of a bicycle trailer.

I hoping also to be doing some voluntrie work for a famous cycle network sometime soon ?

Good luck with the wheel building biz. We specialize in repair and maintenance stuff including suspension fork, rear shock and hydraulic servicing. Well it's indoor work with no heavy lifting......

That is still in the cycle industry and that is what made me fall in love with bikes...

@ spandex. good luck with the spokes.

I came accross industries 9 only the other day. Not seen anything like it before. I think they specialize in MTB. Just loved the colours though

You might want to look at getting a more professional site made, If you can't afford it then just make your site in something like wordpress and use a good looking but simple template to make your website look more 2011 rather than 2001.
After all it is probably a big selling point for you and one at the moment i reckon is going to put some people off.

I'm just starting out looking at making bespoke bike parts. Some practical, some pretty.

Will need to test the waters a bit and see if the business is out there while I am tooling up.

1 day a week at Velo Vision magazine, and close proximity to Maximus trikes the other 4 days, although I don't ride them as much as I used to.

You are right gaz and it is being done as we speak. It has just taken some time finding the right person

I don't and my company is pretty much unaware that the bicyle has been invented, that aside good luck with the business spandex - now we know where to come for custom made wheel at a massive discount!

I build bespoke special purpose pedal powered utility vehicles and trailers, and other things that utilise bicycle wheels such as Husky Dog racing rigs for export, light weight pony & donkey carts, and wheel hoes.

It just so happens that I have a requirement for some custom built IGH rear, and dyno hub front wheels.

And make sure that you shrink all your photos down to a sensible size too! Those two pictures on the workshop page are 12 megapixels each and total nearly 12 MB, only to be displayed at a fraction of their true resolution. Somebody on a slow internet connection (they still exist!) is going to take many minutes to load that page!

Yer those photos !!!! I know and did change them but for some reason it crashed the site? so I put them back up. But the bloke that is redoing the site is sorting the whole thing

I'll add that i am looking at selling a few cycling related things with someone else, just doing some R&D at the moment.

And may I offer, if he's not doing it, a proof reading service....
