Amici Veloci jersey - whoopee!!

[SadieKate]

Spazzdog has been working her little paws to the bone so please send her a few treats. Based on my inarticulate and rambling requests, she's created a wonderful preliminary design that is veddy, veddy close. While we know the Voler art department will make some more changes based on their experience we thought we'd get this out there for the world to see. http://home.comcast.net/~spazzdog/images/AV_complete_sm.jpg

Plus, here's our new blog spot, www.amiciveloci.org (http://www.amiciveloci.org) !!!!
We've got a lot of team members that aren't part of this wonderful TE forum so now we've got a place to keep them up to date on our happenings and, in the future, Amici Veloci tattoo and jersey sightings.

The order form should be posted in the next few days and I'll add the link to the blog and post it here. Miss Snap is in charge of collecting orders from anyone and everyone who is so inclined to join us. Our current order deadline is August 22nd though this may change a bit as Voler is a tad behind on the women's club cut jersey (not their fault - the manufacturer of the lycra used in their shorts in going out of business which has impacted their whole delivery cycle).

On the women's club cut - it will have no elastic in the hem, a slightly shorter length, and will flare a bit at the hips. The bust will be adjusted slightly to better accomodate our curves. I tried on prototype #2 on Monday and it fits really nicely. Sizing info can be found at www.voler.com.

Oops, once last thing -- the secret message on the inside of the pocket will be "Another hare racing story" to go with our collar message, "Embrace your inner tortoise," as coined by Veronica.

That is bee-utiful ! Very nice work.

[bikerz]

Very cool design (love the puns!)! What a great idea! I'll keep an eye peeled for the order form...

[shewhobikes]

LOVE the jersey and will wear one proudly. Will keep an eye peeled for the order form!

[aka_kim]

What kind of treats would spazzdog like?

[spazzdog]

Aarff!

jelly bellies, gummy bears, tequila... er, milk :eek:

Glad y'all are likin' it. I love designing jerseys... just don't get much of a chance to do it. Thanks SadieKate, for letting me help out with an already fun design.

[anaphase]

Spazzdog, that looks amazing!!!

[spazzdog]

Thank you, thank you...

But really, it is all SadieKates art. She's the "artist". All I did was put it all together on the jersey template under her direction. My part was all cuttin', pastin', layering and re-sizing. I am just the mechanic on this one.

[Adventure Girl]

Really nice!! I can't wait! I like that the chain rings are off-center. They look great like that! Dead center would look like a target. Non-symmetrical gives it extra style!

Just my 2 cents.

[Lynne]

So Spazz, can you design a baby blue jersey with a pink Happy Bunny in woman's cut for me? :D God, I want one of those soooo bad!!!

[SadieKate]

AG, we may need your talents also. You should see the behind the scenes conversation between Spazz, Snap and me trying to get the storage and links working for the order form. We may need a flowchart with a full-detailed analysis!

SK (your twin geek)

[Bike Goddess]

It's absolutely STUNNING! Spazz you have done it again! :D :D
I can hardly wait to get one. We will stand out on any ride and just wait til everyone sees us! :cool: :cool: :cool: :cool:

Thanks for all your hard work- and Sadie K- thanks for taking the time to go to Voler. I think it's made a big difference.

I'll get right over to the blog spot too.

Yeah ladies. As usual the TE team comes through! :) :) :)

[Bike Goddess]

Everyone should check that site out, too! It's great! How can the rest of us be part of the site????

[CorsairMac]

WOW!! That is one of the most awesome jerseys I've seen in awhile - re: Huge Primal Wear fan! The design has just blown me away! (notice it didn't hush me up any tho ;) ) I would be doubly honoured to wear that!!

Kudos to Spazz, SK, and whomever else was involved in putting this together!

Please let me know when they're ready for ordering (I'd put off paying a bill to buy one of those!)

[Adventure Girl]

AG, we may need your talents also.Just let me know if I can help! You know... It takes a village.... :D

I'll be the village idiot... :o

[SadieKate]

Thanks, one and all. Spazz and I may just have to do some more collaborating.

Here’s a little update and some info:

Ordering – we should have the order form up early next week. We’ll let you know immediately upon posting it. Spazz is testing locations and links for it right now.

Category 1 Styles (must meet a minimum of 25 items total)
-- short sleeve in both race and club cuts for either gender (women’s club!!!! Woo-hoo!)
-- sleeveless in both race and club cuts for either gender
-- wind vest in unisex cut (assume men’s cut)
-- thermal vest in unisex cut

Category 2 Styles (To make this category happen, we must get a minimum order of 10 long sleeve jersey/jackets PLUS 15 arm warmers to meet the min of 25 items total)
-- long sleeve in both race and club cuts for either gender
-- long sleeve wind jacket in unisex cut (assume men’s cut)
-- long sleeve thermal jacket in unisex cut

[CorsairMac]

Arm Warmers??....what would the arm warmers look like????

I Would LOVE some arm warmers!

[SadieKate]

Well, so far . . . red. :D

My little brain is turning over its cogs. Maybe a black stripe down the arm to mimic the black side panel. Team name somewhere. I'm mulling, I'm spinning, I'm cranking . . . Bubba really, really, really wants arm warmers so I'm hoping that we meet the minimum.

If all else fails, I purposely (and fate helped) picked the same red that Voler uses in their standard unadorned arm warmers. At least they'll match.

They'd make a good gift! Anyone??

[Adventure Girl]

Did everyone but me know that Voler is pronounced VO-LAY, not Voler?? :confused: I'm glad I never said it out loud! :rolleyes: I really am the village idiot!

[CorsairMac]

Did everyone but me know that Voler is pronounced VO-LAY, not Voler?? :confused: I'm glad I never said it out loud! :rolleyes: I really am the village idiot!

well it's nice to know I"m not alone then AG - coz I didn't know that either!!

SK: red is fine, red with black stripe is fine, red with black stripe and team name is fine, red with black stripe, purple cuffs and team name would be awesome! LOL......even plain red I would still order the arm warmers since I only own 1 pair right now anyway. Heck I'd prolly order 2 if I can afford it.

[SadieKate]

Well, I didn't pronounce right and I was talking to the Voler reps. :eek: However, my last name is french and it is been heavily 'murkinzed. Voler is a California company where we say "derailer" not "de-rail-e-u" or whatever. You get my drift. :p

[Adventure Girl]

Bubba really, really, really wants arm warmers so I'm hoping that we meet the minimum.But don't these go with EVERYTHING!!
http://www.nashbar.com/nashbar_photos/medium/PW-AW.2.gif

[SadieKate]

Yep, they were his Valentine's gift. Remember Jason's tres chic outfit at the TopHat? Who do you think gave him the arm warmers? And he does wear them with everything! I think he and Em got up early to mix and match their stripes and florals and paisleys and polka-dots and . . . .

[CorsairMac]

Yup - me getting a pair of Those too!!

[DirtDiva]

Hey spazz, I have some tequila over here if ya want some... (Salt too, but you'll have to bring your own lemon/margarita mix.)

[spazzdog]

I drink my tequila straight up... most of the time :D

I really think more jerseys need to happen... definite collaberation oportunity.

spazdog

[jpbayarea]

I love it! Thank goodness someone realizes that women's hips don't like those jerseys with elastic at the bottom which makes them ride up and create bunches in the middle. I can't wait to order mine and thank you for your creativity. Love the puns too!

[SadieKate]

Thanks, JP! I see you've recently joined our ranks. When you get the chance introduce yourself in the "Getting to Know You" thread. There are more and more northern California members so we sure hope to see you on a ride sometime soon.

[jeannierides]

I'm new to this forum too, and I love this whole idea!! I purchased a really cool *Wish* jersey from some cool gals in CA. last season & it is gorgeous! I love this *team* aspect, even though we are all over the U.S. ~ and beyond! My order will be coming to you next week!

[snapdragen]

I believe spazz and I both have the wishlist jersey too! It's so pretty.

[Pax]

I dropped a few hints at home but I think the B-day present buying is already done. :(

So, I'm just going to buy myself a birthday present and order one up! :D

[jeannierides]

Yes, the Wishlist jersey is beautiful, and fits me perfectly. What is our count so far? Payday is coming.........:)

[Pax]

Just dropped my order form and check into the mail...now if I want to recruit I should know how ya'll are pronouncing Amici Veloci? With my best Italian accent I'm saying "amee-chee velo-chee", am I close or is it murcanized "ami-cee velo-cee"???


BTW - Will items be available later on as well (if someone saw the jersey and really wants to order after 8/19)??

[SadieKate]

"amee-chee velo-cheeThis is the closet to my pronunciation with the accent on the "mee" and the "lo"


BTW - Will items be available later on as well (if someone saw the jersey and really wants to order after 8/19)??Not unless they want to order 25 of them! Sorry! Since these are custom, it is a one time shot. Get out there and recruit! Price will drop to $62.50 for the short sleeve or sleeveless items if we can get the total to 50 items.

BTW, thanks for your support (from Bartles & James)

[Pax]

I'm sitting here filling out the form for yet another ride...YIPPEE!!! But it has a blank space for "club affiliation"? Would it be ok to write in Amici Veloci in the space?? :)

[snapdragen]

I say yes. :D

[SadieKate]

I just sent my payment using PayPal. From my end, everything seemed to work. How 'bout you, Snap?

I also added a link to PayPal on www.amiciveloci.org.

[snapdragen]

I got it! Too cool!

Geez, we are just getting so high-tech. :p

I'll spread the word.

[slinkedog]

I think I'm going to ask for one of these for an early Christmas present. I really want to get one!

[CorsairMac]

I see that the orders have to be in by 08/19 - does that mean I can ORDER one on that day??

Corsair "really wants one but won't get paid until 08/19" Mac

[SadieKate]

I see that the orders have to be in by 08/19 - does that mean I can ORDER one on that day??Snap and I are conversing behind the scenes trying to coming up with a final, final plan. We MUST have the order and payment to Voler on 8/22 and she and/I need to do the collating and double-checking and cross-checking and drinking. :p Sure, you can order on 8/19 if you are using PayPal. If by check, Snap needs your check in her paws by the 19th.

Soon as I hear from her we'll post a final, drop dead, "no orders accepted after" time.

HOWEVER, if you know you'll be paying via PayPal at the last minute please make sure Snap has your order form or all the necessary details. That way we can continue compiling the order with a balance due on some items.Voler has asked for a preliminary count as soon as possible.

Thanks, Corsair and one and all for your support and enthusiasm.

[SadieKate]

Jaquelin P.....n in San Rafael, CA? Anyone know her?

I received an email last night from her. She wants a jersey but can't remember her forum name. She's on vacation and can use email but can't download the order form. Snap and I are trying to get in touch with her but don't have any other info. :(

I didn't want to post her last name for privacy reasons. I'm hoping that this will be enough info to jog somebody's memory.

[SadieKate]

I love it! Thank goodness someone realizes that women's hips don't like those jerseys with elastic at the bottom which makes them ride up and create bunches in the middle. I can't wait to order mine and thank you for your creativity. Love the puns too!
Jaquelin P.....n in San Rafael, CA? Anyone know her?I just did a bit more sleuthing and this matches up with her questioning the elastic hem in the email. I hope this is right. Anyone know her personally and know how to get in touch with her?

[Adventure Girl]

Jaquelin P.....n in San Rafael, CA? Anyone know her?Could that be Jacquie Phelan from WOMBATS (http://www.wombats.org/index.html)

[SadieKate]

Could that be Jacquie Phelan from WOMBATS (http://www.wombats.org/index.html)Ha! I woke up in the middle of the night dreaming of this. Wouldn't that be cool. But, alas no.

Besides the email came from someone who I assume is her husband/partner and the name definitely wasn't Charlie Cunningham. Otherwise, I definitely would have put 2 and 2 together (being married into Clan Cunningham).

[Adventure Girl]

Ha! I woke up in the middle of the night dreaming of this. Wouldn't that be cool. But, alas no.Yeah, I thought so, too. I met her at Cinderella this year after the ride. I had a cup of tea with her! :D :cool:

[CorsairMac]

Sk/AG: yes I'll use PayPal so you won't have to wait on a check.

I do have some sad news tho SK: the budget just isn't going to allow me to get anything but the S/S jersey. Please extend my humblest apologies to Bubba - I know he wanted the L/S and the arm warmers. Maybe the next go around he and I can do that.

Also, if paying with PayPal - if you get enough orders for the discounted rate how will that work?

Please extend my humblest apologies to Bubba - I know he wanted the L/S and the arm warmers. Maybe the next go around he and I can do that.No need to apologize! I think your trip with your dad is far more important and wonderful!

[Adventure Girl]

Sure, you can order on 8/19 if you are using PayPal. If by check, Snap needs your check in her paws by the 19th.This PayPal option opens a new door for me and my procrastinationary ways! :D

Procrastinators... right this way, please!

[SadieKate]

Miss Snap just sent me the news. She needs all orders and payments in hand by 8 am Pacific Time on Sunday morning so that she can get the collating done.

That means you procrastinators have just a bit more time. :rolleyes:

[SadieKate]

Jaquelin P.....n in San Rafael, CA? Anyone know her? Eureka! She has been found. jpbayarea just called me from Wyoming where they've been cycling for 3 weeks (the nerve of them to go have fun like that). Snap, her check is on the way.

[SadieKate]

Snap, I have been asked what our total looks like for armwarmers. Will we get there?

The orders I'll be sending definitely have 6 included (4 from SK and Bubba, 2 from Marty and Candy). That leaves only 19 unaccounted for. :rolleyes: Inquiring minds want to know.

[spazzdog]

Since I emailed/PM'd my sizing are we cool (in lieu of the form)?

I can use PayPal... need to know what to pay though (sorry, I forget)

spazzdog

[SadieKate]

need to know what to pay though

One shortsleeve jersey = $79

Snap, got a couple of checks I'm packaging up tomorrow. Robb says he'll use PayPal.

[CorsairMac]

Yo amici velco ladies??.........I'm paying right now for a jersey and a pair of arm warmers but...........the order form??......do I need to fill that out and mail it to snap??

I know I sound like a dodo (my friends affectionately call it "meno-brain" syndrome) but it just feels weird to pay for something without also submitting something! lol


How do I pay you using PayPal???................waaaahaaa this is just wayyy too new to me! LOL

[SadieKate]

Well, for a bunch of non-propeller heads, we got higher tech than we ever imagined, but automating the order form itself was beyond us.

Be sure you email Snap every bit of info that she needs - gender, style, size, quantity, mailing address - and you don't need to fill out the form.

[Adventure Girl]

The order form says that the Wind Shell Vest is Unisex sizing. But on the Voler site, the size chart for the wind shell vest shows mens and womens sizes.

Men's medium - Chest 38 to 40
Women's medium - Chest 34 to 36.

SadieKate -- What size wind vest do I wear? You told Voler that I would be the "problem" child, so I'm just trying to live up to my reputation. :o

[CorsairMac]

Whewwwwwwwwwwww that was more work than I do for my day job! LOLOL...



OK....I just blundred my way through the whole paypal thing and it said that my money was on it's way to snap! LOLOL

Snap: I included a note that said what size and gender but I forgot to tell you S/S! dooohhhhh!!! Let me know you got everything??

PS: I just got the paypal confirmation in my email account. wheewww..this was tough! :eek:

SadieKate -- What size wind vest do I wear? You told Voler that I would be the "problem" child, so I'm just trying to live up to my reputation. :oAnd, you're doing a very good job. :D

Unfortunately, the outer wear stuff is only "unisex" which really means mens' sizing. I have called Voler's attention to the fact that their website is confusing.

How's that spreadsheet coming? You've only 44 1/2 hours left to procrastinate.

[aka_kim]

...it just feels weird to pay for something without also submitting something!You would only need to worry if I and my household of scoundrels were accepting the money ;).

Will you gals be posting or emailing some sort of confirmation that you got our orders? I mailed my order in last week, and my brother might have been mailing his in too.

And I forgot (pre-meno moment), when do we actually receive the jerseys?

[SadieKate]

Will you gals be posting or emailing some sort of confirmation that you got our orders? I mailed my order in last week, and my brother might have been mailing his in too.?That's a good question. PayPal returns a receipt but we don't know if Snap has received the mailed orders. I have been telling everyone who mailed that they should email her so she knows to expect it.


when do we actually receive the jerseys?Voler has scheduled shipment for the first week of October. Then, our lucky recipient (probably Jason in Oregon so no tax) will have to ship them out to each of us individually.

oooooooo wouldn't that be a treat??...to have that sitting on my doorstep when I get back from Hungary??!!!!

[snapdragen]

Man, the orders are pouring in.....ok, maybe not pouring...but they're gettin' there. I can go through the list tonight and send out "Yay got yer money" to everyone that's paid. Then we wait..........

[SadieKate]

Yippee! Rod of Pville fame called to say he mailed his order. Since he is email-challenged I thought I'd let you know. Steph who is even more emailed challenged will be attemting PayPal. I may call her tonight. :cool: Neither one is hillclimbing challenged. Someday, sigh . . . .

[Adventure Girl]

Then we wait..........Are they here yet? :p

Adventure Girl (Impatient Girl) who has not yet placed her order. :rolleyes:

How convenient for the LibraChix :D

How convenient for the LibraChix :DHappy Birthday to you, me and us!!!

On another cheerful note, I just tried on prototype jersey #3 and, woohoo, they nailed it! Prototypes #1 and #2 were darn close and #3 was that major last step to get the boobage area right. I think all of you fellow elastic spastics will be mighty pleased.

[SadieKate]

OH, this is AWESOME - I almost missed this!Whew! Close one! :D

AG, you have 37 hours. Hee-hee.

I think all of you fellow elastic spastics will be mighty pleased.How wonderful. So if our boobage area is just like yours, no problem. And for those of us (uh, just me) with a decided lack of boobage in that area, how will the jerseys look?

[SadieKate]

The other body model has less boobage and they've been making sure it looks good on her and stays a little tight on me. They actually consider her more the norm. The other model's figure - think Jo about 10 pounds back.

S "training to stay ahead of jobob the lean mean climbing machine" K :rolleyes:

[LBTC]

Yay! I sent my order finally! Can't wait for the birthday present! :p

Namaste,
~T~

[snapdragen]

I can't decide what size to order..........waaaaaah!

Do I order based on the 20 pounds I plan on losing, or based on my puffy not-ready-for-lycra middle. :rolleyes:

sadiekate-what is the waist like on the womens club cut? Maybe I should order a mens - more straight up 'n down - I've never had much of a waist, even at my skinniest (98 lbs, no kidding!) :eek:

Insecure snap

addendum: And how the heck do you decide arm warmer size???????

running for a paper bag to breathe into now.........

[bikerz]

Thanks Snap! I feel your pain! Now you've got me freaking out! :eek: I ordered a jersey to fit me now ('cause after much back and forth I decided that I don't want to wait to wear it!) but now you remind me I won't have one to wear when I'm ready for the lifecycle (hopefully 30 or 40 pounds from now) Can I afford another $79??? Are we at $62 yet? Only a few hours before I have to place a final PayPal order, right? And I wavered on the arm warmers too, because I couldn't decide what to do about the size question... I'm out of town, but I'll try to check the posting before I go to bed tonight and make a final decision...

[jobob]

The other model's figure - think Jo about 10 pounds back.Alas, those last 10 pounds were pretty much all from my boobs :rolleyes:

jo "pass the kleenex" bob :o

( oh, you know I'm just kidding ... I never had 10 lbs worth of boobs to begin with )

[snapdragen]

OK, after tearing through all my jerseys, I discovered I have a Voler jersey! Yay! It's too small right now. Yay! Who cares, it's a mens club cut and I like it, so I'm ordering that. Then I'll hang it up on the closet door as incentive to stick to the dang diet!!!

Still don't know wtf about the arm warmers tho...

snap "feeling feisty today" dragen

[doctorfrau]

I hemmed and hawed about size a good bit too. I was on the cusp between the Large and X-Large. Would have been definitely an X-large last year 20 pounds ago. Will never lose the broad shoulders though. But I bit the bullet and went for just the Large. Even back before babies and in excellent BMI range I was never smaller than a 12. Not tall - just a broad BROAD! :D

Glad to hear I'm not the only one who had a big debate.

[Pax]

Ditto on the debate, I'm pretty sure the 3X I ordered will be a bit big but I didn't want anything clingy (no sense enhancing the "michelin man" look ;) ). I'm wondering though...can a jersey be taken-in?? I can't sew on a button but I know a good seamstress.

[SadieKate]

sadiekate-what is the waist like on the womens club cut? ...I think you resolved your dilemna but I just looked at my women's Race Cut Voler jersey. The waist is tapered in just a tid bit and the club cut will be the same. It is the hips that were made a bit more spacious.l

OK, I'll make some measurements on arm warmers and post.

[SadieKate]

Lying flat on the table, the width of the top/bicep end and then the lentgth:

XS - 4 1/8" wide and 17" long
S - 4 1/2" and 17 1/4"
M - 5" and 18 1/8"
L - 5 3/8" and 18 3/8"
XL - 6 and 18 3/8"

The fabric is a nice thick lycra with a fuzzy interior. Should be really nice for the coming colder weather.

Sorry about the delayed response. Been out riding . . .

[LBTC]

and what do the arm warmers look like, exactly? did you go with just red, or is there a matching design?

how would arm warmers look with a sleeveless jersey, anway?

~T~Arm warmers haven't been designed yet but will match the jersey and have the team name on them.

If we can't get the minimum order, the red of the jersey is the same red Voler uses for their standard plain arm warmers on www.velowear.com.

With sleeveless, I think they'll look like evening gloves. You can just be the Audrey Hepburn of the mtbike trails.

[CorsairMac]

~T~

You would look Marvahlous dahlink.....simply marvahlous!!



(I wear arm warmers and sleeveless in the fall here a lot where the lows are in the upper 50s, lower 60s but the highs are still up the 90s)

[snapdragen]

sadiekate turned in our order today, I put down 50% payment, the rest will get paid when the jerseys are delivered. WooHoo! We did not make the minimum for armwarmers, so I'll be figuring out refunds for all who sent money. Yellow - I'm going to tear up the separate check you sent.

Now the waiting begins....... ***tapping fingers***

I'm wondering though...can a jersey be taken-in?? I can't sew on a button but I know a good seamstress.

Sorry for my tardiness, but yes, they can be altered if'n too big...you need to find a good seamsperson that understands how it's supposed to fit. Ask around at the local bike shops; I'll bet they have someone "on file" if your seamstress is inexperienced. The side panel is a good place to nip & tuck.

Now if it's too small...ferget it. I prefer to get them a little big knowing I have the option of having Rose, my seamsperson of choice, fix it!

Thanks Yellow! That's what I was hoping to hear. I almost skipped ordering one because since I started riding my bike again (all of a month now), I'm down 9lbs. so who knows what size I'll wear next month. :p


Gee, excercise helps you lose weight...who'd a thunk it?? :D

We also have a resident seamstress here on the board - Irulan, that can either help you or do it for you ( I think, sry Irulan if I just overstepped here).




Snap - I just got the email notice regarding the refund, do you or anyone else know: does that just get deposited back into my account?

(such a paypal dinosaur!)

If you paid out of a bank account, it should go back into the bank account. If you paid with a credit card, it should be credited on your account.
