”This T- Shirt? Why….yes! Yes , it is!”

Can someone explain the significance of that phrase – it crops up a lot on here and so just don’t get it.

If you have to ask**.....

That said, it's due to a conversion that occurred on the Premium Members forum I believe.

**No,I don't know either mate!

I like number 4 (medium) and the ill wind logo is ace too. bravo.

@jjprestidge as a newcomer my sense is it’s a bit like when somebody asks if a headset comes with a crown race - a perfectly reasonable question in my mind (errr because I had it in my mind the other week but decided not to ask!)...

This IS the thing.

No mincetank, I'm out .

Hmmm I do like 2 an 4 and the I’ll wind logo is rather fine tbh.

#3, payment by Western Union cheque, with too large an amount. My friend will collect.

2 or 3 get my vote.

Is this really going to happen op?👍

I like to under-promise and over-deliver, so 'No'.

Anyway, it looks like #3 is the winner.
I'll refine the sketch and font and I think sketch the little logos to match and get the final design all set up.
I haven't worked out how best to take orders, but I reckon either I'll do it all by Private Message and PayPal, or I'll set up a quick shop using ecwid.com
It'll all be at cost price. I'll make sure I don't lose money, but then if there's anything left over it'll go to Mountain Rescue.

I can't see there being any options other than size.
While I can see the appeal of a tech tee, I've had problems with peeling print before and want to keep things simple. It'll probably be a Gildan Premium Cotton tee. They are heavy duty, cheap and print really nicely. I quite like the idea of dark blue blueprint style, but then black is probably more universally appealing. I'll try them out.

Next step. I'll post up the final design.

I’ll have one for this reason here. Last night I was chatting on one of their Instagram posts and they were saying that everyone on Pinkbike and Singletrack were unjustly giving them a bad rep. I suggested they say how many frames have actually made it into the hands of paying customers to satisfy the doubters. They deleted the whole conversation. So I’m guessing, not many. Now don’t get me wrong, I’m all for starting shit on social media but I was a potential customer and just wanted an honest answer. Their response speaks volumes.

Yeah, saw that.

I would also like one and No3 would be fine!

I did see myself as a potential customer but their attirdtude on social media and BS mailshots about theit tee shirts totally boils my pee!

So it's not going to happen but they will be in black and payment via Gift...

Count me in!👍😁

Happy to go with the concencus, you definitely don't want to make life difficult for yourself, but I'd prefer a nice dark blue to black.

Another buyer here, look forward to it! (In "not black" if at all possible....)

How about a very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very dark grey?

ok Ben - I'll put yours out in the sun for an hour before posting.

Dark grey for me too.Lol

That's said, black would be fine.👍

Tiedye for me please.

3 for me. Spot on op.

Sick Bikes - Promising bikes since 2017.

I like number 1.

These are pretty good. Would definitely get one for a laugh.

Yes ,I like the tie dye option too.
Ha.

Also here to register interest.

2,3 or 4 for me! Dark grey would be ace!

#2 for ne

Interested in a #3 too so long as it isn't black or white t-shirt. Blue sounds nice.....

#2 or 3.

But with “Longer, Lower, Slacker” instead and on a “blue print” blue T-shirt.

I'd have a #3 on black.

But (sorry, geeky artist's eye) something about the rear wheel / pedals / bottom (top?) bracket area looks a bit awkward? Of course, conceptually it probably should...

I'd have a 3 in XL please. Blue would be a nice change.

2 or 3 both brill, and I will willing purchase.

I'm in, olive drab green if possible.

uhhmm
Shouldn't the forks be fitted on backwards ?

I want one, but only if I can have a full sleeve softshell hooded jersey, but it's got to feel like I'm wearing a string vest.

Emperors new clothes perchance ?
Or is it The Emperors new bike ? You know, the one no -one can actually see

No 3 made me laugh.

XL in any colour. Brilliant

Love #3
Willing to purchase when they are ready

What does Northwind think?

What does Northwind think?

I PM'd him, but didn't get a response. Maybe he's around today.

#3 is best, lol

STW living up to it's stereotype as the majority of t-shirt are being ordered in XL 😀

How is this progressing? Will these every materialize ?!

Vapourwear matey.

Vapourwear

Very good!

Ha!

They are aren't they? Think the thing is the frame's head tube angle has been adjusted so it still looks slack the wrong way up but in fact should look extremely steep?

Nope - I couldn't get my head around it either, but I haven't changed any angles.

See earlier pic on this thread for example...

Good news - I should be able to do more than one colour of T-shirt.
Currently planning on Charcoal, Military Green and Navy Blue, but all subject to being able to set them up easily on a webpage - Haven't looked at that yet.

Anyway - as long as people's expectations are somewhere between Tredz and Sick! in delivery speed we should be good 😉

Genuine well-meaning question; you sure you're ok using the STW logo/association?

(Designs are great btw, if I wore t-shirts I'd have a No3 in a flash!)

You are right of course...

👍

Army green 🙂 Currently have loads of black-grey-navy !!

Yeah, if you could please remove our logo from your design that would be appreciated.

Thanks.

No.3 in medium for me please.

🙂

This got a bit awesome 🙂 Obviously I vote for 3. But 2 would be great with a more exaggerated bike

#3 in a limited edition of 1 (for Northwind, and for free)

I agree with this guy!

Northwind is my mechanic so I would probably go for #3. I'm surprised that Joshvegas hasn't shown up and linked in the original photo in question for reference.

Flashy did it for us in the other thread, certainly can't see any need to repeat it here...

As a long term infrequent GT trailfairy I'd have number 3 and wear it proudly in his company about once every two years.

Thanks.

Damn - my plan for you to take over production and distribution failed 🙁 🙂

No worries!

The other thread is closed though. The people need to know what they're voting for...

In for a penny, in for £8.75
#3, any colour, size sasquatch.

If any funds are going to Charity, I too will have one.. Medium in Green ta.

#3, green, XXL.

#3, green or grey, small (just to defeat the STW stereotype. I'll give it to a passing 12 year old).

Any chance of mugs too?

I would buy a no. 3. 🙂

Any chance of a keyring?

Then you'd know it was never going to happen!

Cufflinks?

Any chance of a keyring?

Can I borrow yours if you get one?

Any chance of mugs too?

The mugs pre-ordered the bikes.

🤣

Any chance these will be ready for next Friday? Heading to the London Bike Show and Sick are meant to be there 😉

If ever there was a case for a spycam and live broadcast of a conversation...!

I’ve got a plain white T-shirt and a sharpie?

*some assembly required

Ah man - that would have been good. My Tee supplier usually has a leadtime of about 2 weeks though, so probably not going to happen.

I have sent them my final design to get costings and a sanity check on the printability of some of the fine details though.
If it's ok, I'll post it here. Then try and set up a quick webshop. Manually receiving PMs on here and trying to match to paypal accounts doesn't sound like fun for 30-40 tees, so a proper shop checkout will be best.

Top work. Happy to pay and order anyway needed!

Can we put this on a mug?  Or something else equally brilliant
