Don't know. But try calling the big time consultants to see if they have any data for you. Bain, McKinsey, etc. Go to your University MBA business school and they have a business library. These librarians are trained in business research.

Follow the supply chain. For foreign manufacturers, there's a handful of import distributors. They know who's good and who's bad. They know who's going out of business and who's merging.

What's your goal? A small boutique bike shop that does not really want to grow into a chain store?
