So what I don't get is if the entire Tri industry is say 11 million and the ~bike costs say $3,000. That is only 3,666 Tri bikes sold per year. I really don't understand how any bike company can afford to pay any triathlete even a small salary of say 25K???I'm having a hard time believing this figure is correct. Let's say there are 150 tri retailers (assume has to be more, just based on ST Road Show... that's only 3 per state average). $11million in Tri-bikes is only $73K per store. Let's say average of $2500 a bike. That's 30 bikes for whole year. Let's say average of $3500 a bike. That's 21 bikes for a year on average.
