Second Round of Kit Orders!

TinyExplosions

Right, may as well start a new thread then considering Raam and Caroline_ie have both said they'd like to order jerseys (and Sy will get one too to make up for me missing him out last time). 8 6 more and the order can go in!

Not 100% keen on doing it myself again, as it does get messy, but will if noone else volunteers, though this time out I think I'd like to keep the payment to Paypal, simply to stop the case of having funds coming at me from all angles.

Will put up prices later, but a full zip, short sleeve shirt is about 35 euro.

Who else wants one?

Caroline_ie

Thanks Tiny :pac:

blorg

For €35 I reckon I will go for a second one, they are great quality jerseys. Full zip is great too, my first one and it is so much easier to get on and off without spilling stuff out of your pockets.

If another bib short order is going in I think I would be interested in getting one size bigger, found it a bit tight around the crotch there. I should have known this when ordering; with the same brand all of my shorts are one size bigger than my jerseys.

If I can figure out what size to order to fit a 1-2yr old child I'll order one. I've emailed the tri club that got baby jerseys to ask - can't figure whether I should get a mini jersey (which I fear is car air freshener size) or a 4XS regular jersey.

I'm thinking 4XS is the one you want mate...

I'm just annoyed they've caps now, and we didn't design one -will have to see if I can get some of them too

Maybe they'll design it for nowt, now that we are customers?

Agreed, although the part of the zip at the bottom of the jersey where it slots into the other side of the zip (I'm not explaining this too well) it looking a little fragile on mine.

I think I get what you mean, and thought the same on the training jacket I got, but it held up well, and never broke!

fish-head

I'd be up for a Boards jersey this time round! I'd love a cap too but standard size caps just don't fit my colossal cranium..

kincsem

I'll go for a medium size short sleeve. I had my name down for a long sleeve but probably no long sleeves ordered.

Still the same colour?

The mini-jersey is REALLY small...

That is big enough for a 6 month old child, which is what I want it for. I'll check out the mini-jersey when I collect my jersey from Tiny next week.

I dunno if that's a mini jersey... the ones that arrived fit snugly on a 2 litre bottle of pepsi!

I won't even ask what you were trying to do there.

Quigs Snr

Can anyone post a picture of the kit ? (not the design schematic, a real life one).

Also comments on the fit ? I am usually a size S or M (depending on time of year and belly size which changes with the seasons)...

I'm skinny-ma-links and the small is a bit tight for me.

Explosive_Cornflake

Stick me down for a medium one. Are you doing shorts or anything, or is it just the top?

E@gle.

i would like a jersey but im in the US for the summer, will they still be available to order in August

blorg

Explosive_Cornflake- Shorts will be the same as the jerseys, if we can get 10 people together it can happen. I'd be on for another pair, so that is two of us.

E@gle.- you are probably better ordering it now and picking it up when you return, you'll have to get 9 other orders together when you return in August (which is not that far away anyway.)

hardCopy

How much did the shorts end up costing last time?

Bib shorts I presume?

blorg

They were bib shorts @ €40. Nice quality too.

I might sell mine on for a bit less - size 10 or L - perfect, only used for 1 day, 200km.

Will be well laundered naturally ;-)

Think I need an XL for the shorts- would be on for a swap either if someone has XL and reckons they went a bit too big.

Raam

If anyone is counting these, I'm a full zip medium, short sleeve.
I'll go for a long sleeve too if anyone else is.

bunnygreen

ill go for a long sleeve jersey if theres enough of us to make up the numbers,also would there be any chance of getting a gilet together for the winter?,just an idea if any others are interested.

Quigs Snr

You could provisionally put me down for a jersey, shorts and whatever else you fancy getting if you have the numbers (its cheap enough so worth picking up I reckon, you can never have too much kit - planning giving it a proper go over the winter so I'll need all I can get...).

I would like to see a pic of the stuff in the flesh though and get an idea of sizing. I am quite a bit heavier than I would like to be racing at but am currently clocking in at 5 foot 7 or 8 and 10 stone 5.

I'm the same height as you and weigh about 9 stone 7 lbs. I went for the small bib shorts and jersey and it fits fme fine. I'd imagine the medium would be best for you.

blorg

Quigs- here are two quick shots of the jersey that I took this morning. Note this is still fresh from the W200, it would look better washed and ironed! I do think it's a nice looking piece of kit in the flesh and the jersey is very good quality in my opinion. Pockets are very large which was a great help for an event like Sunday's.

Same as yourself and got medium. Tried it on last night. Perfect size, very comfortable. Thanks muchos Tiny.

Gav

zzzzzzzz

Jerseys look great.

Who are Cullen Bookkeeping Services?

kenmc

mkdon's company, he sponsored some of the costs.

Vélo

How much was it that was sponsored. I think it was €300, can you let me know and I should be able to get some sponsorship for this order if anyone wants.

kenmc

presumably that would require the sponsorship on the jersey, which would incur a new 'design fee', (and of course render the first batch of jerseys 'sooooo last week')
if the design remains unchanged, there's no design fee, just the cost per item plus postage.

mkdon05

Picked my gear up yesterday (Cheers Tiny) and the quality is great!! Shorts are very comfy. Now i just need to get my fat ass back on the bike:D:D

Quigs Snr

Thanks for the pictures blorg. Tiny, you can sign me up for a jersey. If you have enough people sign me up for shorts too.

Gavin

Stole your pics for the wiki Blorg, if you don't mind !

Civilian_Target

You don't do boards.ie jackets then?

There are jackets available, but again, it's down to 10 people ordering 'em

DavyD_83

I'd love to get in on this order too. Jersey, and shorts if they're being ordered. I'm thinking medium, but not sure cos i don't own any 'real' cycling gear already.
I'm 5'10, 11stone. (seems to be what people are basing on). Anybody know? i doubt i'm large, normally small/medium in normal clothes.
Might just try some stuff on in a shop

blorg

OK, I think we have enough people now (presuming everyone is taking a full-zip short sleeve?)

Raam
Caroline_ie
Sy
Blorg (x2)
daymobrew (4xs or mini)
fish-head
kincsem
Quigs Snr
Explosive_Cornflake

Maybe:

E@gle. (?- in US)
bunnygreen (long sleeve- want a short sleeve, or just a long?)

I will take two as I just had my first (and last) experience ironing synthetics (was going to take a creaseless picture) Lesson learned: iron on low, or even better, don't iron at all



Tiny- I'd be happy to gather the money together for this and place the order if you give me the details.

TinyExplosions

Ok folks, just to let everyone know, this round of orders will be organised by penexpers -he's graciously volunteered to look after the nitty gritty, so I presume he'll be around soon to let you know how he wants to proceed. I'd rather someone other than me take this one, because I really don't want the kit to be all about me!

I sit on the penexpers stuff for a couple of days, and just as I post about it you do too Blorg!

blorg

I'm happy with penexpers doing it! Let me know if you want any help with anything.

DavyD_83- there is a chest/waist chart on the wiki, probably best compare on that - my guess would be a medium or small as you say.

bunnygreen

Hi,you can put me down for another short sleeve full zip jersey,large,thanks

I have to say tho ... I wouldn't have though anyone would ever iron a cycling jersey ... just like some people who iron their socks ...

Sign me up for a S/S zipper in L, if you'd be so good - I've got to stop wearing this Chelsea away strip: small boys in blue soccer jerseys are starting to follow me around.

And I'd meant to put a page on the Wiki myself

One thing I will say is be careful with the pricing.. the carvalho website lists prices excluding VAT and delivery, so add 21% and a quid to the price quoted. The prices paid last time were slightly lower because of the funding provided by the admins and mkdon05 (and possibly to the tune of 20 quid or so from me) -so the prices may be a couple quid more this time round...

Raam

I'll take a long sleeve one too, oh and NEVER iron your jerseys!

bunnygreen

ok raam,thats me and you for the long sleeved,anyone else?,lets try and tot the numbers up and if we have enough lets do it with the other orders.

mikemac

If it's not too late, can you put me down for a full zip, short sleeve, size large jersey

Thanks

Danbo!

if its not too late stick me down for an X-large shortsleeve full zip jersey.... missed this last time round. cheers

penexpers

Hey everyone,

Can you please PM me your orders and also how you would like to pay. Once I have all the orders in I'll work out how much each person will pay inc. vat and postage. I would prefer to use paypal, but if this isn't really an option then I should be able to accept bank transfer.

I'll keep the orders open till Friday week.

I can assure you, I have never ironed a cycling jersey before (as I think you can believe from the evidence) and never will again...

I would be fine with the visual being very rock and roll had it not burned right through the fabric! Extra ventilation I guess
