Thanks for asking, I think I'll still with an L then, it might not be too baggy, but if the fit is loose I should still be able to get into it.
Thanks for the follow up Gruffy.

Anyone found anywhere that stocks the freeride top - if there's somewhere convenient I might pop in to try one ?

OK so I want a Race Proven. When measuring should my measuring tape by quite tight around my chest or should it be ever so slightly loose? Reason I ask it that when measured up tight, I am a 93. Thats rights on the upper limits of small. I have a flat stomach so thats not an issue.

So shall I go for a small or medium???

Traditionally a measurement shouldn't be tight. Stretchable garments are usually measured at 50% stretch so you'll find that both sizes would fit you well, especially with Race Proven material. I'd go Small myself, especially if you're proportional everywhere else (no crazy broad shoulders or beer belly).

Thanks Gruffy. I have ordered it in small and hopefully that will be OK.

Hi Gruffy, table updated as the Quadri will be better in the 30 degree heat here. Do I need to pay a different charge for delivery to Singapore?

I was going to wait for the minimalist designs to get drawn up, but since the last 2 I ordered were XXXL and were slightly baggy, I've lost 25kgs. So they're only used as commuting these days.

So in need of a proper fitting jersey I've ordered. But please, ignore the Rapha'esque comments. I don't own any Rapha kit, but would also really like a minimalist design as well - it's why I only ordered 1 shirt this time.

I wouldn't like to guess on postage to Singapore. Perhaps I just get it posted and then ask you for the postage afterwards, once I know what it is, if you're happy with that?

I'd love a pared down design but we need the numbers. Each different design is a separate order that needs £750 order total to avoid punitive surcharges. That can be spread over any type of products you like though. I think we'll aim for another run in late summer (in time for the Circuit Breaker PH sportive) and hope to get the numbers to support two or three styles.

Gruffy, thanks for the e - mail reminder and I have updated the list. I have treated myself to a set of bib shorts and a free ride as well, needed a treat, so hopefully that shouldn't be a problem. Just do me a favour and don't bring out anything else nice for a while! wink

Many thanks,

Jon

Thanks for the email gruffy, could somebody put me down for an XL free-ride jersey please. I can't for the life of me work the table.

Final reminder chaps. Please have one last review of the wiki to make sure your entry is present and correct. I'm placing the order tomorrow, after which no changes can be made.

The official line is 8 weeks but I'm told this is more of a limit than an estimate. This is peak season for all of the suppliers so it's true for most of them. I'm working on the assumption that I'll receive the order in the last week of April and, as before, I'll ship them out to everybody within a day or two of receiving them.

Well, it's late in the day, but I've stuck my name down for the Winter Jacket, Pro Bodyfit s/s jersey, and Bib Shorts. Wow! It's gonna be expensive, but I wanted even more. I binned the freeride top and arm warmers off this time, because I can wear one of the older, yellower, looser Owayo jerseys off road, and I've never been too fussed over arm warmers anyway. I just wanted them "because PistonHeads logo".

I've also got my eye on some Bontrager shoes and a helmet, and some Endura mitts that will compliment the red/black/white theme quite nicely. There's a very real danger that I will look like a complete tart when I wear the whole lot together, like some kind of FPKW (Faux Pro Kit W**ker).

All I need is a new lid, then shoes, bike, bibs, jersey and glasses all match! I am a tart!

This order is now closed.

My apologies to those who haven't added their sizes to the wiki, who will unfortunately miss out this time, but the order has to be placed today and cannot be amended.

I'll be in touch shortly by email, though your profiles, with details of how to pay. I'll post up here before those emails go out so you know to look out for them. They often have a habit of ending up in spam folders when they come through your PH profiles.

None, just yet. I submitted the order a week ago and then got out of office replies. Apparently the whole team are 'warm weather testing' until tomorrow. Nice work if you can get it, huh? I'm making all the requisite noises about deadlines etc. As soon as the order is confirmed (early tomorrow, I hope) I'll be mailing everybody for the delivery addresses and payment. I will post here too so you'll know if you've missed anything.
