Has anyone got any rough ideas (or solid ones) on who shifts the most units?
I'm guessing that Giant, Trek and Specialized are up at the top, with the likes of Marin, Kona etc. coming a bit further down, and then the likes of Genesis, Halford's various brands etc?
Given that halfords sell 1 in every 3 bikes in the UK, Apollo is probably the biggest seller in the UK!
Globally I think its Merida and Giant that come out on top. There are prob other brands which are not sold in the UK which appear in the top ten.
But is that based on them as a manufacturer rather than the brand? Knowing that both make bikes / frames that get sold with other "brand" names on them it might not necessarily see them at the top of the brand charts. It would be interesting to know and also where to find the figures.

Is the time right for the trade to share bike sales data?
Seems like no one knows....
I was told that worldwide giant were the largest followed by specialized and that decathlon was 5th , i couldnt vouch for the accuracy of this data though
