I'm doing a project for school . . .

A very general rule of thumb is wholesale cost (ex tax) is approximately
half retail cost (inc tax).

But in the bike business, margins are notoriously smaller than typical
retail. Bike shops make little money on bikes, and most on service,
clothing and accessories.

But for the purposes of your project, keeping a simple number, like 70%
of retail, is probably going to be easier. Then you can have a higher
markup on the stuff mentioned above, to make a nice simulation of the
real world.

thanks, guys! you're all so helpful! so do the 50% - 70% apply for
regular bikes, too?
