Keeping this running, aim is to gather interest so we can get better pricing.

We'll have to do a cut off soon, or we'll be into 2015 :-)

Thank goodness it is a timeless design.

We are getting up to about 80 units (individual) so need to get to 100 to get better pricing - and pass it on of course. Although it is not yet binding, a number will not follow through. although with a bit of promo and the exact price, others jump on board.

I assume that it makes sense again this round is to calculate a package price with postage included. With some of the larger sizes they often edge over into the larger more expensive past category and I would set a fixed price that covers packaging costs and this variation.

Google CS Vivid Champ-Sys for an option on hi-vis. I think this puts Champion Systems over the top if I had an inkling of getting a custom kit, even though there are some good alternatives such as Tineli or Ventou. Hi vis knicks and jersey pockets without changing your design = Win.

Campion System have a good reputation however I was happy with the process and quality of Tineli. The second time around we know what we are getting.


His is a video grab image (so poor quality) of the BNA jersey with the reflective H. This is from last weekend when I was doing some test-filming on MTB trails.

Another for the Black kit and 2 sets of socks- Blue highlights is better than the standard red or white seen everywhere (or just pure black), for instance quite like the 2014 3/5 Dams Jersey- lotsa blue

Here are the designs of the rear. For other photos I will go through as I do have some, just not handy right now. In real life they look better.

So we are still short ~ 20 or so units, before this gets off the ground?

How much extra would it cost per unit to get it done now?
Eg - if it was an extra $10 a person to get it going, I doubt many would be loathe to pay rather than wait another 4 months for the extra 20 units.
If it was a much higher cost, obviously that would change things...

Here is the black 'corsa' version front and back. The blue 'strada' cycling jersey with black stripes is the reverse but with the same format. Chain marks on the legs are not included.

Regarding pricing and timing. It has been slightly neglected but judging the response we have ca. 80 units (a jersey is one and knicks is one - so a kit = 2).

What I will do is calculate based on this number and set the pricing. In the case that we get more (and I would certainly promote) then I would work in a benefit. For example a BNA cap or extra socks - but will play it by ear.

So lets get this moving. I am taking general consensus for the ideas to subtle update the kit design.

This is a concept with small yellow pinline stripes. I need to check with the supplier - because it has to work and look good across all sizes.
(The white on the back represents the 3M reflective striping).

I am enquiring with the supplier regarding long socks - and also welcome feedback on the design. The 'cuff' probably won't look good in the long, perhaps the BNA down the back. The blue is not black... (duh) so let me know if a dominant blue is better than a generic black.

Nooo!!! Keep the socks the same length! Why on earth do people like long socks for cycling?! Crazy!

There... that's my opinion. :)

I will take on feedback on the socks (if they are available).

Here is the original sizing kit. It may change and I will certainly confirm and give everyone a chance to double-check. The 'cut' is a race cut - so form-fitting and if you prefer more space, you will have to consider going up a size.

I wouldn't be allowed to wear the kit... Clubs get a bit funny on that over hear... But long socks and good quality casquette for sure.
