Oof! That looks lovely! Gutted I missed the boat on this and joined the forum too late We'll do another run at Christmas Jon, existing options and some winter kit as well - setting it up was the tricky part; we're off and running now, so it will be a lot simpler in the future.

We're not going to reinvent the wheel as it takes ages to sort this stuff out; I'm not sure if people realise how much toing and froing goes on with this sort of work - we've spent ages getting the font proportions and positioning working for all types of garments and zip centrelines on the O versus position in the overall garment etc. The latest niggle to iron out was the colours not working out and getting the visual contrast of the red and blue to work evenly across the format, as the blue was being lost in the black too much but we didn't want to go too zingy on the colour, as it needs to work on the white as well (the darker colour worked with the white fine but not on the black).
It'll likely be tights, leg and arm warmers, caps, perhaps shoe covers and jackets in addition next time but with the formatting kept very similar, as the main principles are set now.

It's all about getting a sufficient order quantity together to get the price right or they're very expensive - we'll kick off the issue when the weather starts turning.

Didn't know there was an official Triban Owners Club kit, a bit too dark for my climate but it's really nice, good work!!!

Not sure I will have enough steam on a Wednesday evening to go hiking in Dudley with you - it is Dudley you know the land of many hills!!! Come to think of it. If you were to meet me at the Wolverhampton West Park say around 7pm I could show you the Wolverhampton Caver Marathon route - I know it quite well now.

I have no qualms in wearing pro kit, but I much prefer the wearing of retro team kit as opposed to that of the modern teams. Although I would quite like to try Team Sky's kit as the technology behind the material is pretty interesting. Well to me at least!
