They're of different materials, though. The LRRH jersey is a little roomier than the AV.

If the fabric for the LLRH jersey is the same as the Cinderella jersey - the AV jersey fabric is a tad stretchier.....I think....

That was my thought. But a translator from Italian to English didn't recognize it. Maybe one word at a time will work.

As always I"m a little pokey. I'm hoping to get my order in by the end of the week. Was there a translation of the words posted? I'd like to here that again. I'm leaning toward a ls jersey & maybe a jacket.

I went back & checked the sizes on post 117. I see you guys were razzing my team Polska guys again, lol.. Don't you know they are the motivation to get me through my races??!!:D Goss, I love red....'cept they don't look like that when they're ridin', hehehehehehehe

I think it is Latin, not Italian for "fast friends" (puns intended, I'm sure!)

Amici Veloci is supposed to mean Fast Friends in Italian, according to Babelfish. Maybe all this time we've been wearing jerseys that really say something like "When pigs fly". :eek:

Babelfish is correct. I knew Amici before, and asked my friend (who is fluent in Italian) about the word "Veloci." She asked in what context, and I told her, and she replied, "Fast friends, that's cute!"

Well thank goodness. I think when we came up with the name, we relied on bablefish. I always had this little nagging fear that we'd come up with some italian curse word.......:rolleyes:

My son (age 2) has that helmet. He is ridiculously cute in it. I will have to post a pic later.

;) Never fear, fishie. My credit card and I may yet agree to disagree on whether or not I can afford armwarmers, as long as someone tells me how I know what size to get (the Voler site wasn't helpful) and as long as the postage over the pond isn't going to be exorbitant...

Great photo of y'all in your AV kit, by the way. :)

I'll be getting arm warmers for a friend, a second jersey for me, and I just got the check from the Danville parking lot guy (the story SK never told!), so that's another shortsleeve jersey...

bwaaahaaahaahaaahaaaa - what subliminal message? I didn't see anything...

What's that sound????? Is it the sound of arm warmers and long sleeve jerseys calling your name????

What do you think the chances of these arriving in my hands by August 18th are? I really want to wear it in my first century!

BTW...I'm going to put in my order as soon as I get Tiffanie's sizing. I'm buying her an AV jersey for her birthday present. :D

OK Brandy, since this is the second time you asked, I'll take a crack at it.

This is what SadieKate posted in post #1 of this thread:

If we can get the orders collected by June 14, the orders will be shipped the week of August 7th. They’ll go off to the equally gracious yellow (to avoid CA taxes) who will ship the individual jerseys.

You know, there are some things that are simply out of snapdragen and sadiekate's hands.

Voler has given them an estimated shipment date, but the actual honest to goodness date that the order is shipped out from Voler is completely out of snapdragen and sadiekate's control.

It could be shipped out the beginning of the week of August 7th, or it could be shipped out the end of the week of August 7th (which would be August 11th). Or, it could be shipped out later. Stuff happens.

Furthermore, the order has to make it's way to yellow in Salt Lake City. So if the shipment departs from Voler near the end of the week of August 7th (that is, closer to August 11th), it might arrive at Casa Yellow well into the following week, if not later.

Plus, once the shipment arrives at Casa Yellow, yellow must find the time to re-package and to ship out every single order to each and every person who has placed an order. That adds another variable to the equation.

Bottom line, I think the chances of you receiving your jersey by August 18th are slim.

I hope this answers your question.

I was kind of wondering that when yellow and SK's friend HotRodd rode up behind me and yelled "Amici Veloci my @ss!" :D

Thanks Jo...I didn't see anyone answer it the first time, so I thought I'd throw it out there again. :D

Earlier in this thread, AG (post # 51) and I (post #78) both discussed how we thought the arm warmers run small.

So, unless your arms are very slender, I suggest you order arm warmers in a size medium.

OK. I'm going to get a Windshell Vest. Unless someone tells me I can't because not enough people are getting that. Let me know--if I can't get that, I'll get a sleeveless jersey. Thanks, ladies.

PS, fishdr, will you post or pm me where I can get that helmet? I want it for my niece's 3rd b-day. Here's what my sister said when I forwarded her the picture and asked if Maya would like it:

She actually "yovs yittow piggies", so I think she'll be very happy with it!

Yo, dudettes! I am back in Kahlifonia!

The LRRH jersey is made from Aries Microplus fabric which is a bit stretchier than SQPro which is used in the Amici Veloci jerseys. The LRRH jersey is definitely roomer than the AV jersey.

I put all kinds of helpful (I hope) sizing info on the order form.
06-05-2006, 07:17 PM
SadieKate

Shortsleeve group includes short sleeve jerseys (duh ;)) , sleeveless jerseys, windvests and thermal vests. See "Short Sleeve Options" on the order form.

The long sleeve group includes long sleeve jerseys in either SQPro fabric or a heavier winter weight lycra, wind jackets and thermal jackets.

Cool, I was wondering if he'd follow through. Since you were a partner in crime and have a major role, feel free to tell the story.:D

5 Arm warmers

CRUD! Why is this decision so hard? Like, what if I get a jacket, which is a darned good idea in Chicago, but then, one day, a miracle happens, and I'm riding in California (loved your pronounciation, SK, I most certainly heard your esteemed gov'nr shining through!), and all the TE girls are there and they all have their sleeveless jerseys, I can't exactly wear my jacket then, can I, and won't I be sorry I didn't get a jersey, cuz then I won't be one of the girls, and I want to look cool in the pictures like they do....

(we apologize for this unauthorized broadcast of stream of thought from Lise's head. The Management)

The thermal jacket is soft and warm, and per the style maven, good après-bike wear.

Lise - it's made by Specialized. It's Specialized Kid Cobra Bicycle Helmet (flying pigs) model. I bought it at the LBS in Memphis. I just checked and saw one on ebay for $15 + shipping - and it looks like the seller is in Chicago. Go figure. I didn't see any online options for buying elsewhere in a quick search. There must be an online store somewhere, though.

It'll run around $30-35 at the LBS. It's nice because it's fully adjustable. So my son's little peanut head at age 1 fit well and it still fits him with lots of room now that he's 2. It says 48-51cm inside. I hope you find one!

Miffy, ask your friend if this is correct. This is pkq's motto: Soffio Crema Veloce.

Boy, I am just coming up with all kinds of good jersey ideas.:eek:
