1st ROUND ORDERS CLOSE FOR MOST ITEMS TODAY MAY 10th
Early reviews are in and are nice, thanks.
I just got home, saw the package [jacket] on the verandah, quickly opened it, tried it on....PERFECT!!!! Can't wait for the jersey now!! Thank you!
and
New Adelaide Cyclists arm warmers = win. :) Very happy with them.. arm warmers can be a bit hit and miss, mainly being too short (leaving a gap at the top between the warmer and the jersey) these are pretty generous length-wise.
and
My jacket arrived today, its perfect! I think it is also going to be very
> useful on some winter hikes and o/s trips :-)
Men's and women's size charts now on the item pages
I actually really like winter cycling. It's hard to find motivation when its cold and great and seasonal affective disorder is kicking in but what I do like is winter cycling gear. So when I was asked about a winter jersey I was excited at the thought. What I've found to offer is, like the summer kit, really great stuff and I couldn't just stop at one piece.
Firstly, the winter long sleeve jerseys. The number one is red Thermo Roubaix fabric red with black panel and a simple white Adelaide Cyclists across the chest (which is actually the new logo's companion font but I've no had a chance to roll it out). The back has the logo and Adelaide Cyclists in small subtle size. Three rear pockets and full length zip. Order now for delivery by end of May. In detail.
The Adelaide Cyclists Jersey black with red highlights is also made from Thermo Roubaix fabric and has reflective stitching, reflective rear panel and printings. Two rear pockets and a front angled pocket gives you enough space to stash your jelly snakes. Order now and if you are first in you'll receive by May 10. Subsequent orders fulfilled by end of May. In detail.
Jackets - Red and black. These are great. Soft shell fabric with Roubiax side vents on sides and inner sleeves. This comfortable, warm and great looking and well made piece of
apparel would cost more than twice the price from any other brand and you'll enjoy it for more than one season. You don't even have to wear them on the bike because they don't look too much like a piece of cycling kit. Available in black with reflective accents or red with black panels and trim. Some available for delivery by May 10 if you get in fast, others will be taken as orders and deliver by end of May. In detail.
Arm warmers. Who doesn't need arm warmers! We're not in winter yet! I like arm warmers, they make you feel faster, while jackets are great for commuting and getting around on certain rides, arm warmers are all you need on most clear days in
an Adelaide winter. At only $22 these are a bargain. In detail.
...and finally new t-shirts. Yep, it's winter so here are some short sleeve t-shirts with AC logo on the front and URL on the back small and subtle between the shoulder blades. If you think it's too chilly for short sleeves you can always wear arm warmers with it. In black and red. In detail.
To get in fast and not be disappointed, or order for delivery asap after disappointment, go to the shop page. Orders will close off in 14 or so days so. Women's size charts are coming (sorry, I couldn't hold out waiting for them any more). Exchange on incorrect size is OK but try to measure up and order bigger if you want some room. These are slim fit garments.
Embrace winter!

Permalink Reply by Gus K on May 10, 2012 at 13:16 I am starting to think no, they are not, or they are not clear how they've done it. The one women's jacket I delivered yesterday was medium and she guessed it from the men's and says it's perfect. I will manually measure up asap. I have a medium jersey out and with a flat ruler it measures 43cm from underarm to underarm laying flat on a table so maybe 49 when stretched out around a chest might equate. All I can ask is just order a small and I will try and get some spares for exchange or refund but I won't get any extra smalls.

Last day for ordering most bits of kit. Some stuff like arm warmers are here and some jackets in certain sizes. They have been posted yesterday and most of you will get them today. I will place the order tomorrow and they are being nice to me after stuffing up the first jersey order so they say they'll get onto it quick-smart. The 'stuff-up' has resulted in some all red jerseys with black patches (pictured), ie the inverse of the small logo jersey, and all black which some of you might light for evening wear around the house... anyway, order here

So when will they be available for order again. I was too slow this time!
Permalink Reply by Gus K on May 12, 2012 at 20:28 Everything was ordered last night and should be back within 3 weeks. Some stuff is here of course like the red or black jerseys, arm warmers and some jackets.
There will be a few spares when everyhing is sent out and there might be the chance of a 2nd round ordering later.
BTW there were 70 jerseys ordered (interestingly an equal number of black and red with AC), 20 something jackets which is huge especially as I only emailed once and stuck up a banner.
I'll close this now. Drop me a line if you want to know anything or check the shop.
