A rad survey on my new buisness venture,

 Watch out name wise.I think you will find that Dawes bikes hold the rights to the name ZED as they made some POS mtb's a few years back with that as their branding.

darkersomeday:
i dont want to sound negative as i really like the idea mate,

just dont go plowing any serious money into something without having a serious look at you market,

curtis survive by the skin of there teeth and theyre experienced carftsmen with a reputation that goes back a long, long way,

dont be thinking you can just find a "decent" welder and some tubes and let loose!
have you any idea how much a good adjustable jig will cost, you'll need a decent bender too,
thats before you get to the engineering equipment!  linisher, reamer,etc,etc,

then theres the liability insurance to cover, plus the business set-up costs,

all that to supply a market thats already swarming with micro companies and a niche that is well covered by kappa and supercross,

sorry if i sound negative but you'd be taking a massive risk investing time and money in something like that without some serious planning :daumenhoch:

dont get me wrong it's relatively straightforward to do, but not in the way youre thinking dude,

if you want any further advice dont hesitate to pm me,

best of luck with the project if you do go ahead with it :daumenhoch:

If you can make a cruiser as good as the azusa one i'd buy it ;)

QUADROPHENIA:


zed, speak to fuzzynod, he has a mate who can do one offs but your looking at £350 for f&f, so he maybe a good man to get some pointers from
