View Full Version : Carbon Time Trial Frame Distributor

I am a bicycle dealer looking for an affordeable and quality carbon
Time Trial frame to offer.

I had planned on selling XLab frames/bikes, BUT found out that XLab is
limited on sizes and is NOT going to order or sell Time Trial frames
again any time soon. Rich is too busy with other products that are
successful. To repair any damage I've done by telling the world he is
not selling bikes any more. Please visit his site and check out his
unique products. Just Google XLab for the address.

I have access to some of the more expensive frames/bikes. I want to
fill a void that I thought XLab could fill.

I am open to ideas and will research any suggestions.

The frames need to be full carbon or close to it. I don't mind the use
of alloy lugs in the frame build. It just needs to be aero and stiff.
If an affordeable frame with the third quality of also being light
exists I'm probably sold. I realize finding a frame with 2 out of the
3 at a good price is what I will find.

In case you are a manufacturer or distributor reading this I own an
established business of over 16 years. Customer service is my focus. I
can honestly say in 16 years I have never had a customer that went
away unhappy... (I've had to lose some money on occasion, but I can
honestly say that.)

I will look at any product. It just has to pass my "bang for the buck"
test. The product must also be backed with a good warranty. If you
don't have a good warranty, that tells me that you are not confident
in what you have to offer.

Thank you for taking the time to read my message. If you have any
ideas let me know.

[Please don't flame me on my first post to this group. I'm new to the
group and if I broke a rule in this message please just mention it
nicely and I wont do it again. Thanks!]

Lastly... I love bike nerds and bicycle number geeks. I was called a
numbers geek a few weeks ago and it made my day.

A good warranty is worthless if the company isn't around to honor it. And as
the only companies that might produce something you're interested in are all
in Asia, good luck getting things taken care of even if they *are* still
around.

It takes a very long time to establish a working relationship with a
reliable manufacturer and iron out all the bugs & kinks. Trying to get
something going quickly... well, if it were that easy, everybody would be
doing it.

What's wrong with currently-available product from established
manufacturers?
