Green Revolution and Cycling Gear
 

I'm doing a bit of research and have a couple questions. In the end I should have information from all types of cyclists. If you could take the time to answer just a couple questions, I would really appreciate it. Your reply can be as simple as a list of numbers and letters. Commentary is also welcome. If you'd like to take part in similar surveys, please let me know. Thanks everyone!!!

* Often if I can know the material make up and type I can assume its life cycle and use that a factor in my buying decision. The sustainability of a product, if true, is a great feature/benefit as long as it does not compromise the performance of the product.

4. Please rate these factors in order of importance to you when buying cycling gear:
c-performance(e-weight, f-other)--does it fulfill my need want or desire in a beneficial way.
a-price--if it fulfills the need want and desire, can I afford it, or is its cost vs value affordable.
b-company--the reputation of the product's performance, look and feel is greater than the the companies brand.
d-environmental sustainability--tipping point factor, deal breaker, deal maker.
f-other (fashion/expression)--does the product fulfill my image of myself or the image i wish to express. This should be much higher than I 'd like to admit but it also falls in the Performance factor in that if I don't look/feel good using it, or if i feel it does not make me look/feel good using it, I won't therefore my performance will be affected.
