Josh-- You really must remake this survey. I stopped after the second question because I have several bikes, not just one. On your survey I could only choose one type of bike. Many people have more than one bike, so being able to choose more than one response in a must. Good luck.

Very appreciate your advice! However, the questionnaire has been launched in several MTB forums (UK base and here) about 10 days ago, and until now the accumulative respondents are reach 150 people. (Target: 250) Hence, it has a difficulty to remake it. Sorry for my carelessness. If you guys don't mind, could you fill the questions based on your last purchase, and actually, this proposal is aim to investigate the key decision elements in mountain bikes consumers' 'evaluation of alternatives' and 'choice criteria' in purchasing bicycles. Therefore, what I really want to know is you guys' purchase reasons on MTB.

joshtseng, I think your doing a great job, keep up the good work 
Just curious though, why are you doing this survey on MTB? are you interested in buying one or just interested in the topic itself?

The most important thing is that I am going to work for 'GIANT Bicycle' in Taiwan after graduated. I would like myself to engage more on the MTB.
I also interested in consumer behaviour in marketing region, so I combined another interest(MTB) to be the topic on my dissertation.

Also, the more you ride (and the more kinds of riding you do), the more you will learn... you'll be able to bring something to the table that not a lot of people in Taiwan can...

I reached #50 and asked when does this thing end? I bailed out. Combining questions such as asking if 'advertisement and visiting a LBS influenced your decision' are pointless since it assumes individuals visiting an LBS are influenced by advertisements. I was not aware that the British Pound was the most common monetary value. I thought the Euro or Dollar were more common. Finally, inventing new words for a survey (not found in Websters) is not a smart thing to do.

Are you using babelfish or something?
I think a great deal of the distaste comes from your use of the English language. Just like your previous post:
"Right! Mr.SaintAndrew. As you said, Dumber and Dumber? In my opinion, you must be a clever guy.
So, why don't you give me some advices just like ZachS did. He blamed my survery designed but also gave me some advices. How about you?"
What you should have said was:
"Right! Mr.SaintAndrew....So, why don't you give me some advice just like ZachS did. He blamed my survey design, but has also given me some constructive advice. Why can't you?"
If your survey doesn't flow freely, then it becomes a burdon to read.
