> Hello everyone!
>
> Here's the word to date on a jersey order.
>
> We have 10 people who have spoken up indicating interest.  We need a 
> minimum
> of 12 to place an order.  Keep that in mind as you read the rest of the
> message.
>
> Our chosen vendor is Portland Cyclewear http://www.portlandcyclewear.com/
>
>    Advantages
> local business, flexible policies, good quality wool, good reputation for 
> delivering the goods
>
>    About the jerseys, quality report by Robert Buschman
> Australian merino wool, the soft and comfortable stuff.  Medium weight 
> with
> tightly woven light fibers, good fit (he's a trim guy) and well sewn
>
>    Color and Style
> This is a great benefit of working with Portland Cyclewear.  We get to mix 
> and
> match.  You want long sleeve racer cut in orange?  You got it. Short 
> sleeve
> shop style in Royal blue?  It's yours.
>
> Shop Style Colors:  Black, Scarlet, Royal Blue
> Racer Style Colors: Black, Light Orange, Victory Blue
>
> Long or short sleeve either way.
>
> Aside from fit, one distinction is that shop jerseys all have a white
> band across the chest.  Racers come with or without the chest band.
>
> I suggest, for some consistency here, that we go with Scarlet or Light 
> Orange
> (like the Merkx/Acore color) for our first order.  But really, it would be
> your jersey, so get what you want.
>
> The people who spoke up first are voting on whether we'll go for flocked 
> or
> embroidered lettering.
>
> All jerseys in this order, and this order only, will be inscribed with
> "Founding Member".
>
> Everything I've just written is subject to correction by Portland 
> Cyclewear.
>
> OK, I also lied.  We don't have to have 12 people ordering.  But if we do 
> the
> price drops 20% from the single unit order level.  Which means we go from 
> a
> well priced jersey to a wonderfully priced jersey.
>
> Postscript:  You might consider a purchase at Team Estrogen for the woman
> cyclist in your life.  Another Oregon cycling business, and owner Susan
> Octenas helped out with information about how to buy cyclewear.

> Final Word:
>
> I'm about to (poor, poor me) leave for vacation in Bali.  You have until
