BroDeal,
Since love and a sense of community are at the heart of this thread, why not start your own bike company, one that exemplifies those very traits?
You could call it BraPha.
Think about it! On the first Monday of every month, you could offer special pricing on all your products. “BroDeals from BraPha.” Brapha-deals, if you will.
But what products to offer?
Well, I’ve thought of that too. You’d your want first entry into the market to be something that would capture the very essence of BraPha. Something old yet new; classic yet contemporary. The perfect solution? A penny-farthing...but with electronic shifting.
Of course in the case of the P-F, “shifting gears” would mean changing crank length—all at the touch of a single button. That would mean licensing a patent from Frank Day, and what better way to convince the cynical world of consumers and internet warriors that your Mission Statement of Love is true to heart? If you and Frank could hold hands and sing Kumbaya, then reuniting the Korean peninsula could become less of a dream and more of a real possibility in our lifetimes. It could be your (other) contribution to world peace.
Next thing to consider would be materials. One word: Bamboo.
Now stay with me on this. It would only be a matter of time before durianrider would be on board. Before you know it, the Brapha Bamboo Bicycle Boon will be in full swing. In a matter of months, pedestrians and roller-bladers alike will be caught on video, running for their lives, from Sydney to Central Park, as the banana bandit whizzes by on his BBB, capturing every GoPro-moment for the world to see. You can’t buy that kind of international exposure.
Speaking of internet warriors—it’s always good to have more than one on your side. You’ll need someone else to seed the forums and spread the gospel across the linguistic plain. Relying on English-speaking consumers alone won’t be enough. Sure, they’re gullible and in possession of loads of expendable cash, by why stop there? In order to capture the hearts of minds of the ever-increasing market of anti-anglo-agoraphobes, you’ll need to employ one person, and one person only: DAOTEC. Listen to your inner voice on this one, and the company will win awards for marketing that would make even Steve Jobs blush.
One last thing to consider would be to acquire a marquee rider to help launch the brand. Someone who is universally recognizable and whose namesake would instantly generate sales. With FLandis now making his foray into the Grand Fondo scene, I think the choice is obvious. He'll need a signature ride, and let's face it, those hand-me-downs from Neil Browne are only going to last so long.
Just imagine the possibilities for both bumper stickers and t-shirts.

For the BroDeal in all of us.
