Hi all.

Just a quick question as to where I could acquire one of the above mentioned tops, and how much do they cost?

Cheers!:D

There are periodic rounds of kit orders. Look out for the next one and put your name on the list.

Thanks for that El T, I'll keep an eye out.:)

No one has asked in a while, but if you agree to organise it I'm sure you'll find plenty of people who will pipe up

Well if colblimp wants to start a list,I'd add my name to it. All my old tops don't fit me anymore.:o

Signal_ rabbit

I want one too, but as a slightly larger gentleman, they don't come big enough!

Yeah they do -they come in all sizes, and will do em custom if you ask, no extra cost! We've some big lads in boards gear already

fenris

Me too if youdo them in fat b'stard!

doshin

If a list is forming stick my name on it please

colblimp

Oh jeez, what have I started lol?!!!:eek:

Is someone willing to take this on? TBH, I wouldn't know where to start...

AfternoonBlue

If someone is taking it on count me in for one. I don't have a proper jersey yet and it's gross to go cycling an a sweaty t shirt . . . ew . . . And that they do them in "not skinny" sizes is great for me.

Is there going to be a new design for 2009?

colblimp

Who organised it the last time round? Perhaps they could get involved? I think it would make sense to keep the design the same, what do people think?

TinyExplosions

No plans atm for a new design, as it raises the cost (I think there's another fee for a redesign), but I'm happy to come up with one if people want!

Colblimp, myself, penexpers and rogerb have all coordinated orders, and it's very simple really. Create a thread, stick a closing date for orders on it and sit back and wait. Once the deadline passes, contact everyone and get the cash from them (paypal is easiest, but beware that they may temporarily freeze your account until you supply more info if you suddenly get a grand into it (happened to me and rogerb I think). Once you've got the money and sizes/quantities, send it off to Carvalho (order form on their site), and wait for a few weeks till you get the gear from them, and then distribute it out whatever way you want!

It's a bit of a fiddle, and an organisational headache, but isn't too bad if you're organised

colblimp

Lets take a step back a minute. I started the thread asking where I could get a top from. Now it seems I'm taking the orders and organising it all! Sorry lads, I didn't plan to do all that...

TinyExplosions

Sorry mate, I wasn't suggesting that you do it, was merely saying the process that we went through in the past! You've not got yourself into anything, don't worry

scottreynolds

I'm happy organise an order at painful as its sounds. I have a paypal account with the required limits... I'm also thinking that perhaps we could look around for some examples of sizing and arrange a try out -- of course those people on this forum would have to lend out some examples.

Ciaran500

Any good pictures of the tops around? I've seen them a few times but never got a good look.

Would like to try them. Have an XXL winter top, but it is way to baggy and long for my (Apart from waist). So would like to try on the regular XL cycling top please.

True, I got a xxxl in the first order.. its more like a dress now. I think the sizes are quite big compared to other brands.

kenmc

the jackets are smaller sized than the jerseys for some reason. the M jersey is a fine fit on me, the M jersey is tight, but just about wearable. Even after xmas dinners

Here's a link to the boards cycling gear page on the wiki with design, sizes, etc.

@ scottreynolds, good on ya for stepping forward to arrange the next round of orders. Now... what do I need

Signal_ rabbit

Is it possible to get a jersey in a 50" chest?

lizanne83

Great idea guys, I want one too for sure, just let me know when you need size etc... prob go for the long sleeve full zip (S).... I'm looking forward to joining on some of the Saturday cycles but still waiting for this damn flu + chest infection to go away!
