			Most of the items that we carry are the basic parts you use every day to repair older bicycles. We don't stock many higher-end parts, because the bulk of the business at most of the smaller shops, especially the non-profits and coops, involves repairing older bicycles.

			We are a small supplier and our specialty is to serve small, independent bicycle shops - both for-profit and non-profit. We also serve non-traditional, but legitimate bicycle businesses, such as mobile repair shops and pedicab fleets. However, we do not sell to individuals who sell bicycles out of their garages, or to hobbyists, as these entities tpically are not incorporated and don't carry liability insurance.
