noob here. Don't have any boards kits. Are the things mentioned in the OP brands or style i.e. DeFend?

It's one of the designs

See the OP from the last winter order for descriptions

In terms of design, think these were the final options last winter

Does anyone have the winter bib toights, and how do you rate them?

Would there be any possibility of getting a brighter colour other than black for the dark winter evening's?

Oryx

I like the polka dot idea

Beasty

We've already had 4 designs over the last 6 years. Do posters really want yet another?

(and people complain about Soccer clubs changing their strip every other year!)

I feel i don't get honked at, waved at or shouted at (in a friendly manner) enough when donning the kit. And that's all I want*

The pink jersey always gets noticed though, although it's too big, and a bit torn.

I actually want the comfort, cut and occasional nod is all.

Beasty

Even the pink one was mainly black - I agree though - having bright colours over winter may make people feel more likely to be noticed. Maybe we should go for a hi-viz option:pac:.

I personally like to have my bright orange or yellow Assos gear on (along with a bright orange helmet) over the winter (although perhaps that's for another thread!!).

Just so people are aware the final sign off comes from boards. People can propose their own designs but Dav will need to sign them off. Personally I like the current design but would also be interested in a brighter version.

Hunterbiker

I wasn't looking to get involved in a design change to be honest.

I will have the order spreadsheet up with instructions by end the day.
It will be the current design - however there is some scope for people to order kit in previous designs if they really (x1000) want to..

What I'd say is that it create a bit of a logistical nightmare but if people are desperate for an older design (The Green Boards kit or the Pink Boards Kit) then John at Lucca will sort it out.

How does that all sound? I'm not going to dig out previous pics of the old kit designs though. This option is more for people who have the older stuff and they'll know what it looks like already.

koutoubia

Yep, what Godtabh says.
Dav has ,ultimately, final call on the design.



Just for clarity, in case anyone is interested, I am a re reg of bcmf who is the talent behind the last design.

Darkglasses

It's entirely up to yourself if you don't want to do a re design hunterbiker

koutoubia

I personally like how the current design worked out ( well I would , wouldn't I) so am on favour of keeping it.
Going from experience if a redesign were to happen its unlikely that it would be delivered before Xmas.
Just basing it on experience.

Hunterbiker has asked me to post this.

Will try and add it to the OP

Does anyone have the winter tights, and how do you rate them?

Hunterbiker

I've emailed a Cycling Mod to update the OP with the link to the Order Spreadsheet.
The spreadsheet lists all the items and has a link to the item on the Verge website - all the sizing info and technical details for the item are on this link.
Have a look at the items. Any queries re the ordering or products please let me know.

Will probably get the DeFend arm and leg warmers.


The winter hat is probably the best warmest piece of winter kit I have.
If you insist on riding outdoors in deep winter then get this....end of!

rollingscone

Well sheeeeeeit, you might yet find me buying the gilet and leg/arm warmers

How were the ones from last year? Are they warm/what is the fit size-is it like castelli where you go one size up from normal?

Cheers

rollingscone

Nope. Normal sizing...I'm an XL in the bibs/tights and a 2XL in the Jerseys.

I've got the 3/4 bib knickers from last years order, I found them very good so far, not so warm that you won't be able to use them for most of the year but warm enough to do on Christmas and Stephen's day last year.

Wizard, you've probably passed me on the Canal enough times to use me as a size guide

Also, yep I'm a sucker, entropa gilet and standard arm/leg warmers ordered.

D3PO

I'm interested depending on the price. (big tights, ls jersey and probably the gilet too)

Hunterbiker

The spreadsheet is on the 1st post - it has all the details including the prices on the tabs.

Can everyone see the spreadsheet / edit it?

as_mo_bhosca

What's the latest date for ordering/paying?

Daroxtar

My laptop is busted and I'm not sure how to edit the spreadsheet from my phone so can someone stick me down for a hat please?

Yea, please.

Hunterbiker

Lads.
Sorry to those who have PM'd or just asked on thread for the end date.

I think if we look to close this off on the last Friday of September (26th) (i.e all money accounted for by Boards HQ by then) then we have a little leeway before getting the order off on 1st October.

Ending last Friday in September (hopefully) helps those waiting for payday.

So don't be shy get the orders on to the spreadsheet. I will contact you very soon with payment details.
