Kit Sizing Night was created by Michael Hanley
The first of the 2017 kit sizing nights has been confirmed for Monday 16th January. Our supplier, Velorevolution will be in attendance with a range of sizes for people to try on.

Location: Joe Daly Cycles
Time: 18:30 to 20:30 (finishing sharp!)

What kit can I try on?
Still being finalised, but I expect that it will just be mostly summer kit:
- short sleeve jerseys
- bib shorts
- long sleeve jerseys
- gilets
- hydra water resistant jackets
- rain capes

When can I order?
I'll have the shop up and running that night, this is the very first time that you will be able to try on kit and order and pay in full from your smartphone all in the one go. No more rushing to ATMs, no more filling out order sheets!

When will the order arrive?
Normal delivery time is anywhere from 6 to 8 weeks from when the order is submitted. Please note this is when the COMPLETE order goes in, which will be a week after the kit night to give people time to submit their individual orders. I will post up an estimated date once the order goes in.

Anything else?
Yes, lots...I've summarised it below based on learnings from last year.

- We have extensive sizing charts on the selz shop page and the kit page on this site. Please consult them if you can't make the night. A lot of people have been ordering kit based on Spin 11 or Verge sizings...this is a terrible thing to do! It's totally different kit.

- Please be sure of your sizing before ordering, we don't accept any responsibility for this. If you can't make the kit night and you're still confused, try asking a similarly proportioned club mate what size they wear.

- This night will double as the MONTHLY KIT NIGHT...as such, you will have the option to purchase kit currently held in stock. If it's VR kit, you can pay for it through the online store, if it's older kit you will need to pay in cash.

- We won't be ordering any overshoes/arm/leg warmers. The orders for these have been low in recent orders and we have plenty of older items left in stock. So, for this order if you want Orwell accessories, they will have to be from existing stock.

- Spread the word! Amazingly, a lot of people seem to miss these orders! Short of knocking on doors, we can't do much more than forum posts and social media...so I'm asking you guys to mention it to people on spins, especially if they are wearing older Orwell kit. Or worse, no kit at all*.

*Just to be clear, naked cycling should not be attempted on club spins, especially at this time of year. Save it for the weekend away.

If I've missed anything, let me know or email me.

Hi all,

Just a reminder that this is on tomorrow night.

The online selz shop (thanks Alan for link) will be open tomorrow evening. If you are happy with your sizing, you can just purchase from the comfort of your sofa!

For anyone who is unsure about sizing, I am going to stress again that you really need to come along. We don't accept any responsibility for purchasing the incorrect size and an exchange is only possible if we have kit in stock that can be used as a swap.

The online shop will close on Sunday 22/01/2017 at 21:00. The order will be submitted after this.

No late orders can be accepted.

Hi Michael,
Thanks for your last response and all works fine
I did leave a separate question on e-mail to orwell.kit so not sure if you or somebody else pick this up in the next few days
If not, don't worry as I will figure it out
Thanks again
John

Hi everyone,

Apologies for the delay in replying, busy couple of days.

@Stefan: No, this is summer kit only, bib tights will be kept for winter orders. However, there is nothing to stop you from starting a new thread and trying to rally up 9 other men to meet the minimum (a women's order would be separate).

@John: I will reply to your email now.

@Sebastian: Eh, no, I'm afraid not.

So, it has been decided to extend the deadline ever so slightly to let people get their orders in.

I'll leave the shop open until tomorrow night.

Once again, please be sure of your sizing, the onus is on you to ensure that this is correct. Swaps can be done if we have sufficient spare stock in your size, but we aren't guaranteed to have any.

Also, I appreciate that there will be questions around delivery dates...I will do my best to update you on the forum, please do not email about this!

Hi Paul,

The kit is currently due to arrive around April 25th, although this is still an estimate and I won't have any more concrete information until the boxes are in the air.

Please note that while there was a delay, this was not due to the ordering process or our supplier, that all went swimmingly. The issue was surrounding the club name change, it simply was not possible to submit the order until the result of the EGM had been determined, as you may have ended up with kit that was unusable in open races.

Thanks for your patience.

Also apologies for the delayed reply, I haven't been very active in recent weeks.

Hi

When is the next kit sizing night and next kit order date please?
I would like some summer shorts and possibly a gilet but would need to try sizes first.
Neither of these items are available as old stock from what I can see

Thanks
Siobhan
