Interbike would be the place to be if you want to talk to all the key players in the US bike industry - manufacturers, importers, the big brands, bike shop owners, magazine writers, enthusiasts.\n\nIt's in the early fall so you missed it this year but that gives you time to get on Amazon and look for books about making money from your inventions - there are lots of good titles that talk about how to protect your idea, approach and negotiate with manufacturers / partners etc.  I strongly suggest you do your research and plan carefully.\n\nAlso... understand who your target market is. Even though it looks like a cutting edge, high-tech market, most cyclists who spend $thousands on a bike are very sensitive to fashion and "what's cool".  This is the reason that many arguably superior designs - such as faired recumbents for example - are still only niche products.\n\nThere are a few trade organizations, but be sure to subscribe to "Bicycle Retailer and Industry News" aka "BRAIN" it's the main business journal for the US bike biz. \n\nGood luck,\nScott\n\np.s. you are familiar with your competition and what has come before, right?  50+mph bikes have been around for many years.

Nothing I own is made in China. I believe in supporting the place where you live. My bike's a Harley, my trucks, GMC, my cars, Buick and Chevy, my boat, Sea Ray, my ATVs and PWCs Polaris. You wanna buy foreign crap, go live there. The only thing China doesn't make is sense.

Well, I am a pretty hard core mountain biker and dirt jumper. In that price range you aren't going to find a bike out of the entry level range. Entry level Kona, Trek, Specialized, Jamis bikes are pretty good. The only problem with an entry level is that your rear axle may break if you decide you want to ride a little more hard and down and dirty. Also the fork that entry level bikes come with are shit. They have, like, two inches of travel.\nSo after that, I suggest that when you go to buy the bike, get something like a specialized hardrock or specialized rockhopper or something. They are both mountain bikes, with decent forks, and a strong axle. It can be used on the road as much as you want, and it's not a REALLY heavy bike. Depending on what year model you buy, it's going to be a little over $300, but it's well worth it.\n\nHope I helped!\nLater.\n\nCher.

This was on BBC Watch Dog a few weeks ago,they import the bikes from over seas,get in touch with the beeb,let them kick some butt and yes name and shame,Trading Standards (england)  through your local council etc.\nIf you cannot get them to contact trading standards then goto Citizens Advice

if you're going to make that kind of monetary investment, your best bet is to sit on the bike at the store if you can. take it for a test ride. even if you find the proper measurements, you might not like how the bike sits or feels. most bike stores will even let you take a spin out in the parking lot. mine did.

To give you a useful answer it would help to know your citizenship and where you are from (where you live).\n\nAlso, your level of experience is a factor.\n\nI'm sorry, I'm a yank mate, so I can't help you much there.  My info in that area is limited to the states.\n\nWhat I would suggest to you is that you look up some UK bike clubs and ask them for some suggestions.\n\nGood Luck

Your parents will already know that the job market is a strange place. What's "in-demand" today could very well become obsolete during the four years it takes you to train up for the job - especially in the high-tec sector.\nAnd as Wildbill points out, there's an extremely good chance that your career plans will change while you're at uni anyway. So my advice is go your own way for now.\n\nPS Bollocks to the idea that your parents can dictate because they're paying.

You can always be a courier which brings in money. I like bikes too ,always will.At least go to the dollar store a get her a card, then go to the book store and copy a poem to the card , so she cant say you didnt get her nothing . Worked for me.\n\nDO NOT GIVE UP THE BIKE...SHE WILL THINK YOUR WEAK

it is indeed! I would encourage you to start slow and work your way up, best part is to compare your speed and distance to the last few days and keep going up, we have a stationary bike so can not compare but still find it enjoyable, good luck

They dont sell to many complete race bikes on there but I suggest building yourself up a Saats or Standard frame.  I am actually riding a Standard right now but am going to go with an aluminum staats for this racing season.  If you really want a complete the only race bike they sell is a MCS.

Jawa is wrong.  Mirra does not ride for Haro anymore, he quit a few months ago and started his own company (inovatively called MirraCo).  Trek are a mountain bike company, as are the other one he mentioned.\n\nDon't buy anything with Mirra's name on it, he is a complete nob and is all about himself and cares nothing about anyone else.\n\nWhat kind of style is your son riding? I guess it willl be street and parks, but ask him, and also take him to have a look at the bikes you shortlist as bein gwithin your price range.  If you get the list before you go, he won;t run up to a bike with a 500 dollar price tag and say i want that one.  Once you have the list, take him to a shop and try him out on them to see which he feels comfortable on.  Each frame hasa different feel due to different angles and length tubes being used in the frame, and also the parts that are used on them.\n\nThe most important thing on a complete is the frame.  For 250 dollars, you will definitely want a 100% cromoly frame and forks.  Don't buy anything with less, even if it looks like a good deal. \n\nFor 250 dollars, you may not get all that much, but it is probably enough to get a decent enough frame and forks package.  In all honesty, the parts you will get on a 250 dollar bike are not going to be all that great, so resale value will be low.  You will not get all you want for 250 dollars (although the integral slauson is pretty damn close), so you may have to have a flexible wants list or up the price a little.\n\nTo get more for your money, have a look at last year's bikes.  I know that it is less cool than havin g abang up to date bike, but you will get a better bike for the money, even though it is last year's stuff.\n\nI would have a look at Eastern.  In fact, if your son wants to upgrade the stock, you can buy him the Eastern and then (if you;re in the U.S. return the frame and upgrade it for one of their non-stock frames for a tiny amount of money).\n\nThis year's Easterns are amazing, and in fact if you look at the element, alot of the stock stuff on their complete your son ill want to keep. The sprocket is a proper Eastern Medusa for example.\n\nhttp://www.danscomp.com/products.php?cat=BIKES&show=Eastern\n\nThey look pretty expensive on that site though.  Have alook around for cheaper.\n\nYou could save even more money by looking at last year's (2006) bikes as they are on sale now.  I have a 06 Element, which apart from giving me a load of grieve because it is cursed (nothing to do with the quality of the bike) is amazing.\n\nUm, mongoose are always favourites, and they use SNAFU parts which your son will be able to sell off more eaily.\nwww.mongoose.com/\n\n\nIntegral make some pretty damn cool bikes, but these are over your price range. On the other hand, they again use lots of aftermarket pats that your son may want to keep.  and even if he doesn;t cna sell off more easily. The Slauson is about 260 dollars from Dan's Comp: \n\nhttp://www.danscomp.com/101531.php?cat=BIKES\n\nIn all honesty, i htink I would go for this one.\n\nI've been looking at the new diamond backs, and the highest end ones are really something, with all the new faddy stuff like integral headsets, and sealed mid bbs (how good are completes getting?!).\n\nDK are always a favourite but i think Easterns are generally cheaper for the samebasic stuff.\nhttp://www.danscomp.com/products.php?cat=BIKES&show=DK\n\nWethepeople are generally considered as having the best street completes out at the moment and with people like Terada (i tthink he still rides for them) with them, it' no surprise why.\n\nHoffman are always recommened, but i think that they are overpriced for what you get.  I bought my element last year for 250 GBP, and my friend bought a hoffman for 400.  My bike had a way better spec than his, and he constantly asks me to swap bikes with him when we ride, even though mine was way cheaper than his.  They do have a few bikes for your pr

Both are rubbish.\n\nSave up a little longer and buy a quality bike that you'll enjoy long term. \n\nMost important of all, buy your bike from a good bike shop. It makes a BIG difference, because they'll help you choose the best for your budget and for your intended use of the bike. They'll also give you good advice and they'll look after you into the future (you won't get any of this from Wal-Mart etc).

Some shops sell second hand bikes.\nAlso check the adds in the papers.
