That might be pushing it a bit. Usually a 2-week lead time from ordering which will be done on Monday 25th. Then I've got to package and post them all out.

I can't find a 3D rotatable mock up of the t shirt anywhere online?

What's going on??

This is not how it's done.

Still, I've ordered 2 but it might have been 3.... But without the render? I might have to start an eBay dispute. Could be vapour-ware.

Is a formal eBay dispute me and Alex, muskets at dawn? Sorry, noob question.

Could we make it midday, not a morning person...?

Thank you very much for getting all your orders in!
We're at about 80 tees I think, which is pretty impressive!

BTW, if anyone thinks they ordered the wrong size or colour, it's pretty trivial to cancel and re-order. Just email me (email address is on the invoice) with your order number.

And in just half an hour, we're suddenly at 93 tees!
The next price break of 100 tees suddenly looks easy!

I think you need to set up an Instagram page, build some hype.

Then repost pictures of happy owners with their new bike tshirt!

It's quite interesting to look at how much time it's taken, how much money it would make and how many of the orders are because a) it's cheap and b) there is some goodwill involved - then try and work out how the heck people actually make money out of this! I guess - just like Sick, they have day jobs and do it for fun.

They make bikes on the side.

But they promised they were 100% on this full time?!

I'll have to get another quote, but I think the new x100 price break means at least £100 going to Mountain Rescue (not that I've bought packaging or actually posted anything yet).

I’m happy to buy one and donate it to Gnusmas.

If anyone can get in touch with him for size/details I’ll order it today.

I’ll PM him first, but if that fails if someone knows him that would be great.

Good effort, glad to see donations going to Mountain Rescue.

👍

Why should he get a free t shirt? He’s the head of a design empire, he’s probably already put the deposit down on a fancy car on the back of this, wait until he’s released a second design from his tax haven residence overseas...

I hope this T-Shirt business you have set up is something you can properly dedicate your time to and aren't trying to run it while holding down another job. That would be a recipe for disaster.

Well orders are only trickling in now, so hopefully everyone who wanted one has got their order in. If not, you've got until Sunday midnight!

Guys, I think we have a problem here. I was a bit concerned that my t-shirt hadn't arrived so started doing some digging on this "Alex Simon". Thought we could maybe get some kind of lynch mob together and go rough him up or something. Turns out he's been lying to us. He's only a bloody aussie MMA powerlifter! How're we meant to string him up? We'll be like flys headbutting a windscreen!

It's almost like looking in a mirror mechanicaldope! Imagine someone on the opposite side of the world with the same name and build!

This is the next round of t-shirts.

Crikey - I've just looked - he is 3 times my weight!

I have a similar issue, apparently there is a pro wrestler by the name of Tom Howard. I’m sick of people coming up to me, asking for his autograph...

@mechanicaldope

Been a couple of days since I placed my order too.

Still no t shirts even after repeated messages to Alex down in Oz.

Typical shoddy/ work shy attitude you would expect of an MMA power lifter.

I've told him in no uncertain terms that if he ever ventures to the UK that he had better watch his back. I can throw stones from quiet a distance and I can run away pretty fast too.

Looking like a PayPal dispute is the only option left.

It's been open an entire week!
Anyway - the shop is open if you want to place an order quickly - someone just messaged me asking if they could squeeze in.
I'm sending the order off in about 20mins.

I'll have to manually edit my database now - fingers crossed it doesn't go wrong 🙂

cb - the minimum order is 20-tees, so if I see enough 'bugger, missed this' posts, I'll open the shop again for some more orders. But for now, I've got my hands full getting these 141 out.
I did consider ordering some extras, but the spread of colours and sizes made it unfeasible.

If CB needs an XL in black, he can have mine - I ordered a green XL as well.
