Wow that is ambitious. Tom Rael, a really good character, owns the Sun Mountain Bike Co. in Santa Fe. It's mostly rental, but he does do some sales. He had the business combined with a coffee/breakfast/lunch shop, but sold the latter a year or so ago and now only runs the bike rental. He would be a good contact person to keep in mind.
