Hi all,

There is currently some discussion about doing another Nobmob lycra jersey order.

As coincidence has it, and for those interested in this kind of thing, I thought I should mention that some of the 'Mob' are currently in the design phase of a DH jersey. A version of this should be available to view in another month or so. The jersey will be in the typical DH/FR long sleeve sort, and mainly black and blue in colour.

If you are interested, you may want to save some money as we envisage a unit cost of about $80. So please, watch this space! Eye-wink

I saw the initial pencil designs in the car park at the Tavern one night and I was very impressed. It is being designed by a fellow rider who designs cycle related wear professionally.

I also like a looser fitting style which is great for ventilation. The longer sleeves also aid both sun and scratch protection.

Any chance of this being a 3/4 sleeve or should I just order XS? Eye-wink

Cut the long sleeve to your desired length... Eye-wink

I don't think the detail of the sleeve length has been discussed yet?

But I don't speak Swedish.. Sad

As for cutting my sleeves, a loose thread is bound to get caught up in the chain resulting in an epic Looney Tunes type unravelling of said jersey.

Yes I'd be keen on one too

The sleeves will be a tad longer than 3/4, but are not full length sleeves. They are also a bit loose and baggy so your wing armour can fit underneath. Basically it keeps with the general style of a DH/FR jersey.

im Keen in taking a look
but not the price tag
hahahaha
i can buy the sam hill replica for $80 bucks
i suppose the bigger the order the cheaper it will get ????

But so what? You would be getting a one of a kind jersey that hardly anyone else has. Go to Oxford Falls or Ourimbah and every second dude has a Sam Hill Monster jersey on. Anyway, you are getting plenty of notice. Smiling

I'd be keen for one, but I dunno what sizing.
I guess a large to make sure it goes over the armor...
Either way count me in!

More material than the standard NobMob jersey but cheaper! Sticking out tongue

As a measure by cloth per $$ its at least TWO times better value! lol

I'm in too!

FYI, there is no need to bother about sizes yet. We are not at the stage of taking orders. That will be in another month or two.

But a DH jersey (used for its intended purpose) should be purchased a size too large to fit your armour under. For those that know me, I will be getting myself an XL. Having said that, if you only wear wing armour, the sleeves of this jersey will be relatively baggy, so get your normal size.
