    And you should be able to hire staff that makes it so you dont have to be there 24/7. If thats what you have to do, youre doing it wrong haha.

    Pick two.

    If thats all you want to spend, Id get a hardtail. Theyre about mid level around $1k-$1500. I ride a Kona, their cheapest FS bike is $2600.

    My point was that in the contract to have a Chicfila franchise you must be there everyday it is open

    Exactly why I wouldn't care to own one, too much damn stress for meh money. Even the right people to run it in your stead cant do it all

    It takes time. Last I heard, my former bosses were at the "sit at home and watch your bank account go up" stage of ownership. At least one of them was there everyday for 2 years until they promoted some good managers to take over a lot of their duties.

    I have mixed feelings about diamondback. You dont see dealers of them anywhere, and there have been stories of their frames cracking.

    A Jamis dakar would be ok probably. But stay away from SR Suntour suspension forks/shocks. Unrebuildable/unserviceable garbage usually. Get a rockshox air fork at a minimum.

    Fast food vs. real sit down establishment. I would never do fast food. A real sit down restaurant is was what I was refering to with my first post.
