[Closed] does anyone know the name and numbers of suppliers

lols

anyone in particular or is this just a random stab in the dark?

I'm guessing you might not have a robust business plan at this stage.

its all still in the pipe line at mo, i already have premises. its just to see if anyone knows a good cheap supplier. thought these forums were to help people and share some information, not to have certain people with their childish remarks.

I hear these are very good:
Superstar components: 0845 475 8338
Dave Hinde: (0)1606 48608

honestly man take this as advice.
if you need to ask on here about that you are not ready.
best of luck though.

Seriously - do you have a business plan for this? Commercial insurance, business bank account, financial forecast? Had any training? Got an accountant?

thanks for the help. i take all advice on board but people have to start somewhere.

sam

have to agree with all the comments above, what do you want supplies of , drivetrains , there is a little company called shimano who are distributed by an equally small outfit called madison. Do you have enough capital for a trade account?:

Madison Cycles PLC
Burnell House, 8 Stanmore Hill

What about sram from fisher outdoor may have some forks , drivetrains also.

As for your frames , any flavour in particular?
Google suggests these aluminium frames

Hope this helps

i have no training but i have been repairing and building my bikes for over ten years. as im the owner of two other companies im fully aware of insurances business plans etc. this new venture is a personal hobbie i feel could be profitable.

Here - you need to be reading this website instead

So much more than finding suppliers.

I'm stepping away from this thread.

My advice is to move into the lucrative world of dent repair and respray, maybe even bearing replacement. This is where i think the biggest growth market is right now

I'd give Falcon a ring. Or Concept. Quality distros.

cheers for that guys

Concept!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Falls over laughing hysterically 😆
Seriously though, try looking at Bikebiz on the net - its the UK trade portal.
Although if you are incapable of buying a magazine and checking out the distributor info at the bottom of the countless ads, i would be more than a little worried about your chances of running a successful business in the cycle trade.
Its nowhere near as easy as anyone thinks and i see so many enthusiasts opening shops full of shiny bits and then closing up a year later because your mates use you as a shop window and then buy from the internet price shaggers. The guys who go into it for a hobby are rarely dedicated, business aware or committed enough to make it work (especially if you already have other income sources). There is a saying in the trade - How do you make a million in the bike trade? Start with two.
Qualifications - rep for bike distributor for over 6 years.

From what I can see, the most successful businesses are those that bypass the distributors and import the stuff themselves. Might be an idea to go to manufacturers rather than distributors. Maybe you could call yourself Superbling Components, or On-Two....
