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


  • Subscribers Posts: 19,421 ✭✭✭✭Oryx


    I like the polka dot idea :)

    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!)


  • Administrators, Social & Fun Moderators, Sports Moderators, Paid Member Posts: 78,500 Admin ✭✭✭✭✭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.

    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.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,344 ✭✭✭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.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,527 ✭✭✭✭Darkglasses


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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,344 ✭✭✭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.

    https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1qMILTq3wUZjxoHZxs4MytllXKEWoi_h8lLrxKnYNU_4/edit#gid=92945437

    Will try and add it to the OP


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,990 ✭✭✭longshanks


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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,259 ✭✭✭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!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,479 ✭✭✭rollingscone


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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,344 ✭✭✭koutoubia

    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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,479 ✭✭✭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.

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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,259 ✭✭✭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?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 242 ✭✭as_mo_bhosca


    What's the latest date for ordering/paying?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,503 ✭✭✭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.

    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.
