Yeah, yeah... blah, blah.
Ok... so this could either end up being a truly huge thread... or simply make me look like a dick, but here goes. The post about people's disappointment with Shimano's attitude got me thinking about real responsiveness to riders needs/desires...
So what do you guys want available to you in the way of cycling products?
What do you think is missing out there? And why?
Bottom line is we might be able to make it. Keep in mind that we're NOT trying to compete with the Asian "made-cheaply-by-the-million market" simply because we couldn't even if we wanted to. We want to stay exactly where we are in the market place producing high quality, low to medium production run products right here in Australia... and I suppose that until I came across Farkin the means of asking a really wide audience of riders what they want just wasn't available.
So go for it. Tell us what you want, wish for, or what you'd simply like someone to make better in the MTB game. Ask your mates, tell 'em about Farkin and get them to log on and have their own say.
Now if you think we're just touting for work because we're dumb-arses that can't come up with our own ideas then accept my appologies and simply ignore this thread.... if you think you've got such a good idea that you don't want anyone else to know about it you can get in touch via www.gripsport.com.au (hey if your idea is THAT good you may be our next partner... or boss!) but otherwise post here and lets all get some discussion happenning. Remember... there are a couple of other Aussie manufacturers out there too you know, and while this discussion probably wont get to or have any influence on the overseas companies you never know what might appear on the shelves just from this thread. And if we (GripSport) end up making any of your ideas at the very least you get one for yourself.
Hmmm... :roll:
