I would happily & proudly wear either, although the pinstripe "leisure" is the original and best imo.

I'm very impressed with the various inputs Red and Black would be good -it doesn't have to be red with lots of white (PS all the architects I have worked with over the years all wear black, and mostly polo necks)

Yes folks, the red one with silly lettering is tongue in cheek and I presume fredscuttle was bored at work and just after a wind up conversation, 'cause anyone who wants a full on red kit with such literal lettering plastered over it, as opposed to a minimal and cool / cryptic stylish outfit, wants their bumps read IMO ... or they might be one of Santa's Elfs ... or a figure skater ... or a super hero ... they'd have to be, 'cause they just don't work for anyone else . ... and for the record, they won't do a FOC sample, we're not Team SKY ; the best we can hope for is sufficient numbers to get the cost down and strike a good deal on the shorts. It appears the 'Classic' is the preferred option, which is fine; I can progress that one further now, on the basis that most will benefit from an order - we will need to get 13 or more to keep the costs down (then the cost is the same all the way up to 50 but any additions mean the set up split is better for all). Ordering one off kit is on a different tariff. The 'Leisure' one will also be possible but would most likely be costed at a prohibitive level, as the set up cost is Β£100 for under 13 people and the shirt costs Β£48 if less than 5 are ordered, or Β£37 for 6 to 12 ordered (you also need to split the set up fee amongst the buyers in addition). The fun starts in organising a bulk order, we would need to put the final graphic together so we don't get design charges at the other side and make sure we have money in the bank for a group purchase - all doable yes but obviously a real pain without a real commitment from everyone. If we get people backing out and we don't hit the threshold, then the costs will go up or worse, people order and then vanish leaving me with bespoke kit. Once set up properly, I think we can agree a standard rate for additional kit but I'll need to look into it.

Well done Rad for pursuing this through to completion. My only two pennethworth is to try and get it done either asap (not being impatient, it's just whilst I still have spare money in my wallet before it is all burnt away) or organise it so the money is needed to order either at the start or end of a month as that's when most will get paid from their respective jobs.

I think a b twin logo on the classic would look great. Would be nice to get them on board.
If we can get these done I'd be chuffed to bits to ride down the Thames path or on the next h4h ride next year!
Only thing I need is spokes embroided into it after it's done but that I can get done as will be separate set up for each kit !
Well done rad and thanks for all the hard work everyone has put into this I can see this happening !
Money will be waiting for a full kit with bib top shorts please !

Now you're talking! Although posted in jest I like it. Some may find it bland, and I agree with others that shorts would be better black (with the TOC logo on one leg as on your basic design) but, most importantly, it passes the recognition test, if not the aesthetics test in some people's eyes, although a little tarting up would resolve this, such as, say, the TOC logo in red, white and blue on a black background as on your basic and deckchair designs. I would certainly buy one. Guess that would be a production run of one then.

Production run of one is possible fredscuttle - when you're ready I'll send you the logo and contact info; think the cost with set up for the shirt is Β£148, keep the logo off the shorts and they'll be the normal price. Best buy a bike first perhaps though - are you going for the 5?

I want the 3 but If that's not possible then the 5. Regarding the design, would it not be possible to incorporate the TOC logo on a black background as per your basic design (slightly smaller lettering) the black extending around the whole jersey till about a third of the way down, with Triban Owners Club as shown in the design I like? for me it's important to make it clear what TOC stands for - I may have already mentioned this.

Logo sent to your registration e-mail address, you can show me what you mean - or perhaps you won't?

Great work rad and fredscuttle! Curious as to the quality of the kit. I agree with the earlier sentiment that time is of the essence. So where are you now with the sample run? Oh one more thing I will be going for the Classic, hate the other one.

Found this rad - www.impsport.com/Category/Cycling-JerseysThey look ok although I am just a customer of Decathlon and Aldi its hard to judge of the website other than by looks.
