How many bicycles does a bike builder have to assemble at a bike shop? |
How many bicycles does a bike builder have to assemble at a bike shop? Depends on how good the bike seller is. Most bikes come partly (mostly) assembled from the factory these days. The shop only needs to put on the front wheel handle bars, seat, cables, pump up the tyres and adjust. It is the adjust part that makes all the difference. A good buider will take the time with the customer (about 20-40 minutes). (The customer will come back and so will their friends) A good builder will make the sellers job easier. A good seller will make the builders job harder. (don't buy a bike just before Christmas) Do you mean how many an hour? A day? When you work in a shop or higher end sporting goods store as a bike tech, there is no definite number of bikes to assemble in any given time. You build them CORRECTLY rather than QUICKLY. In this instance I like to think that the bikes are built, not just assembled. In department stores like WalMart the assembler is paid by-the-bike and amounts to about $4.00 each depending on the bike and the area. How many bikes need to be assembled in an hour to make a living, and would you trust riding those bikes? 26 years in the industry as many as they got....why?...you wanna go? lots |
