Club Gear - Round 2! - Order by June 20th

[Sean]

Hi Folks,


Now that nearly all of the previous order of gear has been distributed, as promised, the second order is getting under way.

We'll have a short ordering period this time (2 weeks) in order to get the gear rushed through.


The order form can be downloaded here:
<ul>
http://www.madmtb.com/docs/2008_GEAR_For_Download.xls
[/list]


Please return it to me at this address (woohoo.downey@gmail.com) in a timely fashion (as in, now!)


As you can see, we've added some new items to the list, namely the much requested skinsuits, cycling caps and Lycra shoe covers. We hope these will be popular items.


Sizes:

There are now 115 individual items of gear from this supplier in circulation, so you should all be able to find different sizes to try by asking your friends. We found that the jerseys are sized 1 size larger than the jackets and other things, so order a smaller jersey than you think you'll need. IF IN DOUBT, ASK TO TRY SOMEONE ELSE'S!

SHOE COVER SIZES: (S - EU33-36) (M - EU37-39) (L - 40-42) (XL - 42-44) (XXL - 45+)


Prices:

We don't know for sure what the price of each item will be, as it depends on the total amount ordered. Any items that there is less than 10 of incurr a surcharge, so order early, order often. Also, there will be a difference in pricing between this order and the last as the supplier has rearranged their pricing structure. I think the jerseys will get a bit cheaper and the other bits a little dearer, but the net cost will be about the same.


Any queries, please email me.

I think there may be a run on the lycra shoe covers!!

[Barrydanzig]

are the DH jerseys never making a return?

[Sean]

No, there was zero take up on them before, same with the 3/4 lengths.

[Fergal]

ooohh oooh more gear -- ooohh what will I get this time..hmmm...another pair of those shorts - they are REALLY comfy - highly recommended....what else now......

[Barrydanzig]

i was looking for one the last 2 gear orders, but i know that only ordering one makes them crazy expensive. but i'm assuming that since our gear is now being made by cofidis that there isn't even an option to have one made any more?


am i still the only person who is looking for one?

[Gogs]

I wouldn't mind one either, to be fair!

[paddyobrien]

lads .. if theres more interest in the skinsuits than in 3/4 length shorts then we need a a bit of a rethink on the whole philosophy of life

[Sean]

Right folks...

Due to some demand, the option of 3/4 lengths and DH jerseys will be added to the list.

Morgan will replace the form at the above link as soon as he gets the chance.

I'm only adding them provisionally - if the takeup is as bad as before, there will be large surcharges applied again.


Sean

[Fergal]

now you lads listen to Paddy!

[Howie]

you can count me in for a MAD dh jersey and shorts if they're gonna be made.

[ciaranc]

I'll have a pair of the 3/4 lenghts aswell

[Sean]

Lads, no point in saying what you want here...download the form, fill it in, send it to me....

[Howie]

oh has the link been updated yet as there is no choice for 3/4 length shorts or were they just refering to 3/4 length bib shorts?

[john]

Hi All ... I've only recently joined MAD ... where will I find price list for new gear?

[Sean]

Howie - the 3/4 lengths they were referring to are 3/4 length bibs, as seen on the list. You really don't want bottoms without bibs anyway...


John - a price list doesn't exist (as it says in the original post) as the price is dependant on what is ordered (bigger quantities = cheaper for everyone)

As a VERY ROUGH GUIDE, here was the price list from last time. Note that this is nothing but a VERY ROUGH GUIDE and has NO BEARING on this order.

Short-sleeve jersey 1/4 zip 36

Short-sleeve jersey full zip 36

Long-sleeve jersey 1/4 zip 45

Long-sleeve jersey full zip 42

Drystorm jacket 78

Rain jacket 51

Rain gilet 51

Bib shorts (medium-weight) 42

Bib tights 55

Bib 3/4s 54


Sean

[Scrivo]

Hey Graham! They have overshoes!!! Excited?

[diamondG]

excited is not the word!

[Sean]

Just a shameless //BUMP// to liven up the topic a bit.

Keep those orders coming folks!

[Phil]

Will we be able to get those 'eye of the tiger' heads from the mad catalogue??

[ciaranc]

Any chance on the next MAD order we can get green mountain bike gloves and even waterproof socks ?

[Morgan]

Already available Ciaran:

[ciaranc]

I meant with a MAd logo, but know I realise how difficult that would be

[Liam]

What size shorts would I need to get, I'm bout 34" waist.

[paddyobrien]

i use a size 10 liam and i'm around about a 34 waist

[Fergal]

I'm a 32 waist and a 10 is perfect

[Liam]

Thanks lads.


I know I probably should have suggested this earlier but I'd love some MAD baggy shorts to match the jersey.

[Barrydanzig]

all the hope stuff matches the new mad gear, and since there is not the option to purchase baggy shorts in the MAD shop, i would suggest these:

[Sean]

A great big Djouce-sized BUMP to get things moving again...3 days to go, lots more orders needed!

You've all seen how great the gear looks and read how fantastic it feels....don't miss out!

[Fergal]

I was looking at those Barry - nice but but that Hope logo all over them wrecks them

[Sean]

Folks, only 2 days to go to get your orders in. So far, things are going very very slowly. We've only hit the surcharge-free minimum of 10 items in bibshorts.


THERE WILL NOT BE ANOTHER ORDER ANY TIME SOON. IF YOU WANT SOMETHING, OR FORSEE YOURSELF NEEDING SOMETHING IN THE NEXT HALF YEAR, ORDER NOW!


Sean

[Morgan]

Sorry Sean - I'll have my order in ASAP...

[Sean]

Order has now been placed with supplier - I'm awaiting the invoice before I can send out individual invoices to you all. These should be completed by Tuesday or Wednesday.

I'd ask you all to pay up promptly this time, as we'd like to get the order processed quickly.


Thanks,

Sean

[Sean]

I've managed to send out about half of the invoices, will do the other half tomorrow night - it's a time consuming process!


Please pay up as soon as you can - the supplier requires a large downpayment up front.


Sean

[Sean]

Folks - I've received slightly less than half the money owed by now. This means that I've paid a significant chunk of the deposit (which came to €3000!) from my own pocket, and I'd like to get that back sooner rather than later if possible.


Thanks to those who have already paid, and thanks in advance to those whom I know will pay soon


Sean

[Morgan]

Name and shame Sean - lets see who the club tightwads are.

[paddyobrien]

pay up ye bleedin' eejits!!


Or we'll come looking for you


(I did pay didn't I?)

[Howie]

hey,


just wondering if there was any word on when the shiney new gear would be in Ireland for?


cheers

[Morgan]

I'm pretty sure it's just arrived. Sean has been seen strutting around town in his new MAD roadie-cap.
