could you not put a couple of 'sponsor' logos on there for london bike shops in exchange for a couple of quid to bring the cost down and maybe a small discount for jersey wearers in said shops (50% or something like that should do it). doesn't have to be plastered with them just a few carefully placed logos or something.
I think you underestimate the costs, or overestimate how much bike shops would contribute. They would have to be contributing a good chunk over what they're likely to get back in terms of sales given that only 100 or so people will own the shirt and we'd need to knock off a huge chunk of the underlying cost to achieve it.
That, and I kinda like it logo free... it would ruin the effect of the design (I can say this, having seen the design).
Agreed. I'm not interested in owning yet another trade jersey.
I'll take one in cashmere.
Now we're talking!
no, i want it black and white with Rapha on it.
In cashmere?
Just another note... the price tag isn't final, it may be lower, it may be higher... it's just unlikely to be £50 as I have asked that we don't compromise finish for cost.
So the £75... that's pulled out of my arse... just guide price with no real clue as yet.
£75 is probably more than I am willing to pay - it will serve the same function as my club jerseys (nothing like someone shouting "Come on, Brixton" when you're grovelling up some interminable incline in the Alps), so I'm not sure I would be willing to pay more than £50 (which is what most club jerseys seem to cost), unless it was significantly nicer than yer average spandex thing. Some of us have to justify our cycling expenses to our saner & better halves.
£50 I can just about explain, more than that and my last remaining card will be cut up.
Probably the midget that hippy has just eaten whole.
