Bike Shop Proximity
Quote | Reply
I read the rview on Chicago The Bike Shop and noticed that theye cannot carry certain bike lines...I understand the reasoning for this, but is there a specific "distance" a bike shop needs to be from another established shop to seel certain line, or is it an individual judgement call by the companies.

For example, If Rich simply moved his shop XX miles farther from MIssion Bay, could he sell Felt, Cervelo, etc.

In some cases (read The Bike Shop) it doesn't matter how far they are from the nearest competition (read MB) they can't be far enough to to carry certain lines (read Bill will throw a hissy like no other if Rich gets stuff). So in other words some times rules/miles can be broken or increased.
