I think they're all valid questions from one shop owner to another but I do agree it's little too involved for a forum.
The shop has come a very long way since we first started and the vast majority of the way we do things was figured out and/or perfected by us, usually through old-fashioned trial and error. Everyone does things differently and I'm sure you can figure out what works best for your shop.
To answer one question, though, there's no reason or need for us to sell anything but track and fixed gear stuff. There are enough shops selling road & mountain bikes already and we've got this **** dialed. Everyone who has set foot in the shop always compliments us for the insane amount of products we keep in stock at all times, so I guess that question is answered too.
