For Sale: Velo Club Motel Race Kits

My brother and I ride together every weekend, and race occasionally. Last year we managed to convince his boss (also a bike geek) to sponsor a social team that we called Velo Club Motel. He's a photographer with a studio called Motel, and Velo Club sounds well Euro.

We organise group rides, annoy British Cycling and CTT by writing a made up club on their sign-on sheets and generally revel in all things bike.

There's a standard kit for the club, which you can see on the blog here, but this year Joe Hearty designed a special edition race kit for us.

We thought we'd open up orders to all our friends along with the good people of LFGSS. Jerseys are £55 and shorts £65. They're made by Champion Systems, you can find sizing info here.

The kit is also sponsored by my mate Greg of Lanark Coffee on Hackney Road - the best coffee in the east end!

We're doing a pre-order now, so we'll get them in time for summer, Champ Sys say six week lead time, but they're shipping out a new colour way of our old kit after only four weeks, so could be sooner.

If you'd like a kit, PM me your size and I'll work out some kind of payment system.

Is that Motel based in Brighton?
Very nice kit, flash of colour on the shorts and V jutting into the jersey pockets particularly cool.

Nope, not based in Brighton. Thinking of Garage for some reason.

Motel is just off Hackney Road - keepin it local.

I really like this kit. I need to check what size I am in Champion Systems and check I have any spare cash.

Following @roboto 's success with Nimble Wear we might go with them... should be a quicker turn around too.

So we're ready to go into production with these, having revised the design to work with Nimblewear (the same as roboto's club kit and skin suits). The shorts are slightly different as they are made up from different panels, and they're better fabric with a better pad.

Gonna get it ordered by the end of the week I think, after we've confirmed numbers. If you'd like a jersey and or bibs please let me know what size you'd like using the guide here. They do a women's kit too.

Cheers,

David

Didn't you win the Lea Valley Hill Climb this year?
.

Yup, that's me. Thinking of getting a skin suit to defend my title, though I reckon it'll be more down to hard training if I want to beat Carsten!
