  1. You can't. In order to buy from a manufacturer you MUST be a retailer. Even then you must be a dealer for the brand. Sorry pay up like every body else.


  2. http://www.Danscomp.com

  3. The bike industry does not use a direct marketing model.  There are a number of reasons for this, including the fact that most people don't know what kind of bike or what size bike to buy-- working with knowledgeable staff at your local bike shop is very valuable.

    Also, if everyone bought their bikes online, how would the bike shops stay in business?  Without high margin items like bicycles to defray the cost of staff and a building, spare parts and service would be EXTREMELY expensive.  This would drive a lot of people that had older bikes or had hand-me-downs or donations away from cycling if maintenance and tuneups and flat tires costs hundreds of dollars to repair.

    Good luck!

  5. Um, you really can't. The vast majority of bikes are made FOR other companies in Taiwan, China, or even Vietnam. Unless you are planning to make a big purchase, like maybe a container load, then it will cost you more per bike than you could buy at retail once you include shipping and duty charges.

    Now, you CAN buy frames from manufacturers like Paketa, Waterford, or Serotta but you have to be a dealer and you have to have good taste in high end products.

  6. China.

    Hint: Buy Ten bikes and get a discount, sell them cheap to your friends.
