2 posts got me wondering; where is this business going? With about 60 (so far) readers on this list- if every one of them bought a bent in 1 year, then stopped, after overhead costs- 1 year or less might be the way of the future.
I was considering returning to this form of employment since one LBS proudly advertises more recumbents than any shop in Santa Cruz county, and they did not have a single one (or even a Pesta valve adapter, for that matter).
I could easily trounce them financially! I sold my Thebis yestersay.
I do not want to be another false advertiser, but I don't want to lose my shirt either!

I am sure the readers, and especially posters, of this newsgroup or any list comprise only a tiny fraction of the existing, much less potential, market. Perhaps I am not understanding your post.
