WOW Big Eck, thats an impressive gamble,
Only advice I could give is, keep it simple, dont give stuff away and diversify into other areas non bike. The local bike shops of midlothian also do car/motorbike consumables like oil, wipers,sparkplugs,brakepads etc plus key cutting, watch batteries and anything else that might get folk through the door. Also work on getting a loyal client base and if possible have some form of internet presence like an ebay shop.
If you go for it I promise to buy all my new bike bits stuff via you
Finally keep your present employers sweet as a back up plan
