LFGSS 10th Birthday Party

no worries dude. will definitely catch you. hated missing you last time.

Looking forward to seeing a lot of faces I've not seen in a few years.
Shame you can't stick around Joe.

I think we need to go to Plan B and rent the dungeon for a few days until the 25th, after all. Who was it again who was going to buy the rope?

If you need a DJ HOLLA!

Will any of the goods being sold be available to buy on here?

There's probably going to be two things:

1. A new T-shirt, but this is an old design made fresh. The 2009 peloton design will be on a black American Apparel T-shirt, in a discharge dusky pink. Proceeds will be used to cover the costs of this, and to line coffers (though coffers are actually just above break-even right now - a good thing)
   
2. I've asked LCEF https://lcef.wordpress.com/ if they would like to sell their caps at the party, and these are already on their site available for purchase with all proceeds going to support London cycle couriers.
   

Burgers at dusk?

Anti-coagulants.

Peloton.

You disgust me. burns pub down

Pink? Fucking pink? I demand a recount!

Was just about to respond to that monstrous error. Glad you've got our back, big man.

I'm really due a fresh cap. My lcef one has done eleventy billion miles..

Alright I'm seriously thinking of popping down to this with my bike via train and staying in London for a couple of days. I'm new to riding around in London, will anybody be about Friday Noon for a spin round town and help me navigate the London streets. There's a free Chain Genie Tool or tee for anyone interested.

Pink?

Neon yellow?

What colour do you want? It'll be on a black T-shirt.

And it looks like this:

Not that I really have a stake, and can't make it out there regardless, but AA stuff seems really cheap. No other options, organic possibly?

AA stuff seems really cheap

I like. They last a while and don't lose their shape in multiple washes.

Generally I've found:

• Continental cotton: Loses shape in washes, XL sizes too small for some.
  
• Continental bamboo: Very nice but some people dislike the fit, and it limits the type of printing (what's the point of going ethical and bamboo and then using Earth damaging inks on it?), XL sizes also too small and no XXL available.
  
• American Apparel cotton: Holds shape, keeps colour, durably stitched, not organic, XXL not as large as some would like.
  
• Gildan cotton: Holds shape fairly well, keeps colour, not organic, Small and Medium neck quite narrow, Small and Medium are larger than expected, good for XXL sizes.
  
  

Given that Medium and Large will make up the majority of shirts produced, the American Apparel is a really good base T. It has a few weak areas, but not as many as the others.

Also... some of this is from experience, 90% of what I wear are template T-shirts I buy cheaply from wholesalers ;) I do enjoy my no logo T's.

The black t-shirt bit is fine. Black on black ftw. Grey on black good. White on black ok.
Blue good. Anything else, see POC image. :)

Anything else, see POC image.

We could re-make that one...

Thanks for the in depth reply!
I bow to your experience, but was thinking more along the lines of Velva Sheen or some of the premiere Euro brands.
Cheers

Black on black ftw. Grey on black good. White on black ok.
Blue good.

Which blue?

Light blue = association with Sky
Light pink = association with Rapha
Yellow = association with Le Tour
Pink = association with Giro
Black = association with Metallica

Not going to do grey... would consider the pink I chose, or the light blue of the LFGSS logo.

Heinz beans blue. (just like the forum cap)

@6pt @amey thoughts?

Radioactive lime green

Tonslen when are you having your splinter LFGSS 9.9th birthday celebration?
