Just a random thought/idea. Would anyone be interested in a Riding Gravel Forum Cycling Jersey kit? I saw a podium wear jersey being promoted on the site and looked up their jerseys and they look good and appear to be made of good quality. Only problem is that podiumwear doesnt sell to individuals (sadly). Would you guys be interested in doing an order? Anyone with experience with podiumwear chime in since this is something I thought of on my last bike ride.
I would be too. How do we generate more interest though here is going to be the challenge. I dont think many people come to this side of the forum and read the threads.
haha...not sure. Looks like only 5 pieces are needed for an order...certainly there's 3 more people that would be in for a cool gravel grinder jersey or kit. Even if it's not directly related to this site...just something gravel road riding related would be sweet.
Sounds good. I'm lacking jerseys and especially anything cool. Hard to find much in my size other than generic solid colors. I'd like something with some flare that doesn't cost an arm and a leg. Bad thing is...I'm not that big but I'm HUGE by cycling standards...lol
Ok I messaged the guy on the Facebook page. Waiting for a reply. What are you chest measurements? If anything we can go with Hill Killer and do split the art work fee since they have no minimums. They go up to 5xl which is 53-54 inch. What type of jersey color ideas you thinking? This is all preliminary and I am unsure if it will get off the ground. Hopefully the guy will reply.
Around 56" actual. Ex-power lifter turned cyclist. But I'm losing weight so in time a 53-54 will fit and hoping to get lower than that eventually.
Colors...I kinda like the vintage looking stuff but at the same time maybe something bright and bold...lots of help there right.
I'll check out Hill Killer too. I'll look at some stuff and post up some examples of things I like and maybe with that and what you are thinking we can come up with something that works.
Right off the bat...I really like these as a classic style...change the colors maybe...instead of Hill Killer put Gravel Killer, Dirt Road Mafia, even just Gravel Cyclist or something like that....
Spoke to one Of the guys on fb. They are interested and have been kicking around the idea for a while, but hasn't gone anywhere. If we kick up more interest they can get one moving. The phrase Gravel Cyclist is already taken by some guys on another website based out of Florida. I like the classy colors but I'm not a white jersey kinda guy. Shows off the nips too much. I just bought a Road Holland jersey so we will see how this goes. Wife has caught on to my bike spending and is threatening to revoke my allowance (j/k) but I'm not going to be much use in the next couple of weeks with school ending and teaching winding down. I'll check here often , but spread the word on the site and let's see if we can get some grassroots going, but making sure we aren't undermining the admins of the site.

Depends on the company. Hiller Killer site is:
1-4 jerseys $69.96 each and $75 art fee but no minimum order. 5-10 jerseys drops the price to $52 each. 16+ jerseys and the price drops to $44.50 and free art and then it gets cheaper from there.
Podium Wear jerseys start at $69 and go up depending on quality. They have a 5 piece minimum order but no setup fee. They also seem to have the best sizing option for larger riders such as myself.
If I had a choice I like podium wear better. More options. Anyone get more guys/gals interested? Maybe one of the admins can help out. Anyone with design ideas we can start taking that out
Like the argyle. Not a big fan of the big sign though. What if you took the image of the gravel road flipped it horizontal and had some type of gravel wording across the chest with the road to gravel image incorporated into it. Maybe we could reach out to riding gravel and see if they want their logo some where on the back? Digging what o am seeing so far.
