I'm keen to update who is ordering. Right now it looks like myself and Kevin. Any word from the others would be appreciated. I know John, Scott, and Jem have expressed interest. Was a workaround figured out for tariffs? Happy DFR8 weekend!

Ok. It looks as though my order for the original didn’t go through, so I’m interested in one of these. Do I need to get a size from someone? Large suits me in most things.

Hi John, Please see my post on June 26th. It's got all the contact info for sizing before ordering. Since it appears to be just you and Kevin UK side and me US, it would be best to arrange with Kevin for shipping to go to one of you and then arrange for local exchange to save some international shipping bucks. When you and Kevin are ready to order post up here or message me so I can place my order as well so with 3 jersey's it will be $45 each. Let me know if any other info is needed. Cheers, Michael PS: Maybe message sooper8 to see what his workaround is. |

I'm sure that once the art is set, you can always go for it in the future  I started DFR weekend with a hot and humid 40 miler on my Aerospace Pro (blue/silver) to get in the spirit. Cheers, Michael |

Hi John, I told them I was:
42” chest
36” waist
5’11” tall
16” shirt collar
Long body / short legs
And they recommend XL ( which is what I am with Rapha )
If you want, I’ll order both our jerseys and we can sort the money out between ourselves.

Thanks. Let’s do that. I’m slightly smaller- same chest, 34” waist, 15 1/2” collar and 5’10” - but probably XL as well? Assume it would be a snug fit? |

He asked for my weight as well = 81kg
If it’s a slightly looser touring fit that would be fine. If it’s too tight it wouldn’t actually get worn.

I'm 5'10" , 155-160 lbs and 32 " waist so I'm going large. I guess I'll place my order later today and I'll let them know two more are ordering as well.

I’ll order tomorrow evening if that suits John? Away away from home today.
L or XL John?
Have you decided on a colour?

Post by triitout on Jul 12, 2020 21:03:43 GMT
I'm ordering tonight the dark charcoal color that's posted. We have to keep it one color for the $45 price. If John picks another color, it'll cost him $55. Our 2 would still be $45. Just wanted to make sure there is no confusion.
Edit:
Just put my order in! Yipee!

I'll stick to the colour that keeps it to $45 - dark charcoal. I think I'll go with Large, I have put on a few kilos during lockdown, if it's a bit tight, that will encourage me to get down to my more usual 80kg / 175lbs. |

Michael: Do you think I should order via email to Carlos? I guess we can arrange something through PayPal to pay.

Emailed Carlos but the price came out at $55 each. I’m checking this with him. I told him Michael will order today.

Here’s what he said:
Right, but that is if they all go to the same place as one large order. If we have separate orders that adds to the logistics and production process so that is why the price is in the 1-5 units

Still want to go ahead at $55 Michael and John?

He’s changed his mind:
Sorry, my mistake we applied the 1 unit price, and yes for 2-5 I had agreed on the $45 price. I will send a revised payment rewquest now

Carlos Ruiz

Carlos put the wrong jersey sizes on the invoice. When he corrects it, I’ll pay it.

There's always a stomach churning leap of faith needed for any Viscount related ventures. Hopefully they all come through in spectacular fashion and make us three amigos the envy of the forum...haha!

Carlos said he’ll ship in one week. I imagine it will take a while to get here.

Speedy quick production and delivery of the jersey. I ordered large, tapered fit and it's perfect. Well done by Carlos at www.bikingthings.com. He even included a gift of a matching set of cycling gloves! I think Whippet and Cusqueno will be happy when theirs arrive. Some photos:  IMG_0293  IMG_0294  IMG_0295 |

Put it on your list for a birthday or Christmas present! Full disclosure: I have no financial interest in any sales. Just happy to be involved in "Viva la Viscount"  |

Michael,
Yes, very impressive. I'll likely be ordering one later this year. Size is an issue right now, I've lost 15-20 lbs. this year so some of my old jerseys now fit again! Hopefully, I'm back after several years' worth of medical issues.
Thanks for your hard work in making this project happen.
Best,
John "wheelson"
