Thank you all.

I will make sure sizes are updated.

Paid 009...

Did I miss out? Thought I'd be OK for post count

OK, just found the email amongst the !!! spammer !!! offers and iTunes phising emails in my junk folder, will sort payment tomorrow

Ha! Love that there is a "swear" filter change on a popular brand for male enhancement pills that changes it to "vitamin a, b, c , d and e" brilliant stuff

Paid

Thanks for the prompt payments - just 12 payments still open and as noted there will be no reminders or chasing up

Just 6 payments still open, and to provide some orientation these are the unpaid order numbers:

001
005
006
007
026

048

If you are one of these and paid a while ago, get in touch (or check to make through it has gone through)


And as an overview of the fundraising, this is currently just under $1000 - however my business ([url=http://www.signale.com)]Signale - Communication Design[/url]) will sponsor the $440 postage so when everyone is paid up it will be circa $1580 to the charity fundraising.


And here is the sample (images provided by Monton Sports)









So looking good, I have asked about a few things:
- Confirmation that the blue is the corporate blue (photography and light can change the effect)
- Review and confirm logo (yellow diamon) colours)
- BNA on arms needs to remaining in this format (black below for the seam so that the sticking doesn't go through the letters)
- Closeness of the left / right front panel (i.e. now / less gap along the zipper)
- Confirmation of the fit - specifically around the arms where there is some bunching (this is a size M on 'perhaps' a larger mannequin).

Of course I will be expecting everyone from the forums who gets one to wear pants.


So now that you have seen the jersey, if you are a late comes you can still get in, bt only if you are fast. The late orders are $59 which covers post, the (additional) manufacturing cost and the charity donation. Email... fast with size and address: info@bicycles.net.au

Are the sides see-through?

Not 'see through' as such - but judging from the photos, the fabric stretches and it is a little less 'solid' so the mannequin has reflected back with the flash.

It will be a good thing to observe when the jerseys arrive.

Oops..looks like I'm too late.

But if anyone has an unpaid Small they want to back out of I'm keen

Just missed out - and all the size S are paid up.
The sizing has been interesting so follow the thread in case there is a bit of swapping.

I'm intrigued by the dining, I've gone one up against my usual size (and generally my own advice) on the basis of it being race fit and analogous to castelli's sizing chart.

'dining'?

The biggest size difference, when it cam down to it, was the comparatively short body length. Both the Cuore and previous Tineli kit were much longer in the front and back. (And seasoned cyclists will also know that cycling jerseys are short in the front than at the back as well).

For my size L, the chest was fine though the length was too short - so it appears that the sizing is suitable for a stockier body/torso type. I went up a size, it is suggested as being a race fit and will mean that (in theory) the length is now better, and around the torso it is a comfortable fit, but not tight or excessively look.

However we will have to see... it will all come out in our reviews when the kit arrives, and as a result help others who are trying to chose a size.

Sizing, dining, it's all the same to my new phone

Just watch out what you send to your boss or colleagues, it could get very romantic very quickly!

So who just made an anonymous transfer with the title "donation". I thank you - it will go straight to the charity, however I don't know who you are - for example it may have been a payment for one of the Ultimate Jerseys.

Expected Delivery

I am always reluctant to promise delivery times - the indication for the BNA Ultimate Jerseys is that they are now going into production and due for shipping in two weeks. Then we need to allow for shipping, and then packing and shipping from me.

Any chance you could throw in some BNA stickers when you send them out? My bike is lacking a certain something....

The stickers do look nice

Absolutely,
I will get some stickers in as well. They can be a bit tricky, however make sure the outer edge (white) comes off and they look quite good.

Thanks! Yeah sizing is a bit interesting. Looks like I'm a medium despite being 55kg and 173cm

Will keep an eye out for spares

Policy for unpaid jerseys / spares

For any unpaid jerseys... firstly they will stay with me. The idea being that if there are any size issues, we can organise some swaps. So it may be a matter of managing members to send jerseys direct to one another and the rest come to me.

After that, assuming that there are any jerseys remaining, these will be available on a first come first serve basis (with any members expressing interest having first option).

That said, to be fair to members who have purchased 'additional' jerseys for $59, the spares will also be priced at $59. While this is higher than the original price, it is fair to those who purchased at the higher price and the best part is that all proceeds (minus postage) goes to the Black Dog Institute charity - so it helps makes a difference.

To get in, reply and write your member name and preferred size. I will work through the list and if there is a jersey in your size available, and you are next in line then it is yours. You can start now (eg. AuBicycles - size XL).

UPDATE

The jerseys are complete and being dispatched this week... so now it is up to the powers who control shipping.

And this is what is now available - as noted I asked each person for timely payment.

So these are up for grabs ...
Disclaimer - people who ordered by did not pay on time have forfeited their opportunity for a jersey, unless they can show that they have paid and it has somehow slipped through.

To be fair to people who ordered and paid the full price, these will also be priced at $59 (includes postage). All proceeds go to charity.


001 - Size M
005 - Size XL
006 - Size M
026 - Size M


First come, first serve, look up the size chart to confirm your fit and then response below with your size (from the sizes available). I will then follow up via email.

Great! Can't wait to see my Ultimate Jersey
