There's a market in that. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=7844&page=2#post-83053 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 10:26:23 +0000 crowriver 83053@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Impressive, DaveC! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=7844&page=2#post-83051 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 10:17:01 +0000 steveo 83051@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Nice Dave, a DIY saddle bag has been on my list of renaissance projects for a while but my mums sewing machine burned out when I went to make my tool roll. These two incidents were unrelated... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=7844&page=2#post-83048 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 10:00:20 +0000 DaveC 83048@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I can lend you a sewing machine.

Strangely baggy at the belly - pondering options for, well, fettling. Although Uberuce may be right, there was that strange egg thing and spider in my shed...</p> <p>(it's movie refs a-go-go this morning!) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=7844&page=2#post-83045 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 09:26:40 +0000 crowriver 83045@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Team kit looks good. </p> <p>Definitely the orange, with black stripe all around. The "Whatever you ride..." strapline would be great, too.</p> <p>So, you taking orders, Anth? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=7844&page=2#post-83042 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 09:00:55 +0000 Uberuce 83042@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>They mostly come at night.

On other thoughts perhaps I don't want to know... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=7844&page=2#post-83037 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 07:35:33 +0000 gembo 83037@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Looks good, I would buy. Has the "whatever you ride" strap line gone or is it on the back? as a fan of the Alan Parker movie The Commitments, I am always a little uneasy when I see this strap line but not enough to deter me in my purchase should I be able to ( size medium but if adjustment then size large?). Nice </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=7844&page=2#post-83035 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 07:03:15 +0000 Uberuce 83035@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Bit clean at the minute, but otherwise lookin' sharp. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=7844&page=2#post-83033 Fri, 31 Aug 2012 00:05:39 +0000 Dave 83033@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Excellent look.</p> <p>Makes me even more enthusiastic about a faux club jersey (League of Marchmont Wheelers? Velo Jawbone Arch? VC Porty Prom?) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=7844&page=2#post-83031 Thu, 30 Aug 2012 23:43:08 +0000 ARobComp 83031@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Nice one!

Need to get a Merckx-esque action shot (not sure I can carry off that panache!). The fit is slightly off - had to order XXL for the length, and that's still slightly short, but it's also a bit 'baggy' round the belly. Got ideas for nipping it all in though, and the length isn't an issue when worn with the bibshorts.</p> <p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/blackpuddinonnabike/7896779006/"><img src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8314/7896779006_01a1803f90.jpg"></a><br /> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/blackpuddinonnabike/7896779006/">New Citycycling Race Kit</a> by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/people/blackpuddinonnabike/">blackpuddinonnabike</a>, on Flickr </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=7844&page=2#post-79589 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 20:39:13 +0000 Claggy Cog 79589@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I like the original orange...and it IS this year's colour. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=7844&page=2#post-79583 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 19:56:04 +0000 chdot 79583@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>That's WC when younger. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=7844&page=2#post-79581 Thu, 26 Jul 2012 19:48:35 +0000 Bike Rider 79581@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>number one looks nice, reminds me off this:</p> <p><img src="http://www.vintagevelos.com/42-113-thickbox/molteni-wool-cycling-jersey.jpg"> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=7844#post-79346 Tue, 24 Jul 2012 22:29:31 +0000 Instography 79346@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Aye.

Can go absolutely fully custom - I used some their templates available. Got to submit this design, then apparently their designers get back in 24 hours, and it's all finalised and you sort sizes. As mentioned upthread, I'm going to try it out and see what the quality is like, then report... :) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=7844#post-79329 Tue, 24 Jul 2012 21:37:19 +0000 ARobComp 79329@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Looks good man.<br /> Whats the turnaround time on these do you think? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=7844#post-79328 Tue, 24 Jul 2012 21:35:29 +0000 gembo 79328@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Tangerine black and white - my favourite colours.
