I would be inclined to stick with Carvalho. People are familiar with their sizing and overall are happy with their jerseys.

I might be interested in a SS Jersey.
Will update the spreadsheet after the color has been decided.

My 2cents,
velotec shorts are very good and I like their jerseys.
I don't like carvalho shorts.
I'm not picky about sizes as I'm a fat bastard.
I contacted stetyrell as I thought Luccasports should be at least given chance, ye don't have to go with him but at least give him a chance.
If ye want to go Irish theres O'Neills, Velotec, Azzuri, Watt custom, Spin 11 and DMC, off the top of my head.

There seems to be some interest in people starting up a new order for kit, so I figured we may as well start a thread and see if we can get an order going.

We're currently planning to go with Carvahlo, but that is to be decided.

Photos of the jerseys, (the colours will be changed, we're undecided at the moment.):

Can you put in a "Downhill" jersey column please. Looser fit jersey to see if there's any interest for guys not racing. Prob. wont get a minimum 10 but let's see.
(is it a 10 order minimum still for a run?)

I thought it would've been nice to go with an Irish company, support the local economy etc. I'll get in contact with other suppliers and I'll see can I get in contact with some clubs and see who they used and what they thought.

Yeah I'll stick in a column anyways, I'm not sure if all suppliers have downhill options. I think the general consensus is to go a size up if you want a looser fit.

I have both the Carvalho and velotec and much prefer the velotec, although they messed up my sizing last time.

Not to worry if it doesn't get the numbers.

Spin stuff is not great imo current boards stuff is way superior

Squidgy Black

I've sent off inquiries to several companies there.

What I might do is see can we get a sample jersey and possibly bibs from a few of them, and then if some Dublin based boardsies want to meet up some afternoon or something and I can bring them along and comparisons can be made.

Ole Rodrigo

Just added for a Medium SS, LS and Bibs. Cheers stetyrrell.

Vote for polish-style non-black shorts. Give the ladies somehing to giggle about.

Stick it in the spreadsheet, along with your size under the column(s) of what you want in the order.

So the results are in from the qualifier poll, I'll post a new thread tomorrow with the 4 options for the final colour scheme.

Exciting.

Squidgy Black

Final choice poll, get voting.

We haven't really decided on a supplier yet, so details have to be confirmed.

I'll be getting samples from Spin11 and Lucca Sports over the next couple of weeks, so if people want to meet up and bring the Velotec and Cofidis gear and we could decide on which is the best quality and bang for the buck.

Id be interested in a few bits as well, but wont add to the spredsheet untiil the supplier and costs are finalised

MrJetlag

My 2 cents - I think the jersey colours should be reversed. More pink like the T- Mobile/ Deutsche Telekom Jerseys.
The reason apart from looking cool is it would make the high viz to other road users and in dusk/dawn.
Saw a guy in the Pink T Mobile jersey as also same guy in Z team jerseys on my commute in from Swords.
Can't miss him and he does look cool as f*ck.

That's what lights are for.

Hard to argue with the results of the polls, at the moment Lime green has nearly 50% of the vote so I think the chances are that'll be the one we're going for.

Vive le pink!

Is there enough interest to make an order of both pink and lime possible ?

Seaneh

Here, lads, if you were a hefty lump like myself what size bibs would you get? I wear an XL in Alutra and they fit grand, would these be similar?

The sizing chart is pretty accurate.

ProTip though: If you're aiming on doing more cycling, buy a size smaller. My two original boards jerseys are now huge on me and look kind of ridiculous. I just use them for commuting, I can't do proper spins with them any more. I have a long sleeve which is a smaller size and fits much better, but no use for the summer.

One of the great things about bib shorts is that they have a corset effect, so even if your jersey is a little small, the bib shorts stop you from looking as "bumpy" as you otherwise might

All depends on which supplier we go with, but if we go with Carvahlo then probably not.
