    What would be the best way to create a cycling portal with cycling store. And which products should I sell and how ?
    I mean like cycling books, bikes, equipment, cycling dvds, training programs would that be ok ? or should I focus on one thing only ? and also what should I use amazon, CJ ... ?

    thanks

    Ok I am starting with associate o matic. www.cyclingboard.com I'll try to get buyers from cycling forums with good posts and buy/sell recommendations.

    Any other suggestions welcomed :)

    I would focus on selling bikes and accessories. If you dont mind me critiquing the site, I reckon you have it setup wrong. When visitors land on your site, what are you trying to achieve? They figure it's a cycling store and may not be in a buying mood and leave straight away. Whereas if you setup the forum on the main part of the site with the store as an addon, you can work on building up good activity and content on the forum, then try and sell to your forum members.
