Before you guys ask, no I'm not the reincarnation of Martin Luther King, but I do have a dream. The difference is Dr King's dream came true, but mine is a bit crazy. I have a pretty good hunch that I'm way out of my depth but I will share it anyway. :-) First a lil background about me; I'm not a technical person, and my knowledge of bikes is pretty basic. I have ridden bikes since I was a kid, but only recently since I bought my Cube ltd 2012 last year, I've become fascinated by bikes and especially mountain bikes. My background is in web development, internet marketing & branding, but I had this crazy dream that with partnering up with someone who is super technical and passionate who knows how to design frames and build bikes, I could launch my own brand of British made bikes. My idea is to sell only online & rather than spending money by disributing the bikes in high streets, spending it to incorporate better components for the bike. I was thinkng along the lines of 3 or 4 models to start with, with an entry model at £450 to £600.
Do you think I'm barmey or do you think it could be done and may even succeed? What kind of investment do you think is necessary to get a project like this going? It will be great to hear your thoughts.
