[Closed] Freeride-stylee Singletrack top - please add your name to the 'Petition' !!

I'd prefer one too 😉

Seems simple MTB website = MTB clothing????

Go on then, add me to the list. As long as it doesn't look like a Pope tribute jersey like the merino one!

Thanks guys. 😀

I find it strange, considering the main population here is fat* middle aged IT geeks, why sell skinny/close fitting T-Shirts!

(*very sweeping statement, luckily it applies)

XXL here please.

nope, not here - like the new one just as it is (runs and hides....)

Short sleeve with a small vee at the neck for those warm days here please.

And long sleeve for the winter too.

nope, not here - like the new one just as it is (runs and hides....)

Whippet obviously. 😉

[b]Definitely not[/b] in white. 😯

XL in black for me please. Thanks

me too

though try to stay away from black, makes me look like a ninja

fat blokes that dress like powerangers world 😆

Yes i would be intrested to

count me in

With a zip all the way down front and pockets on side/front (We wear Camelbaks ya know )
Don't want one - tight fitting lycra is fine by me :-)And wouldn't wear a STW freeride shirt whilst on my DH bike!
I do look a plonker though with the stuff i do wear 🙂

With a zip all the way down front and pockets on side/front (We wear Camelbaks ya know )

Count me in! Lycra just doesn't look cool - not on us chunky boys anyway.

Me an all

I'm in as well, NOT in white though thanks very much.. 😯

Stands up to be counted (Medium for me please)

Only if it's a reasonable price. And having done bulk orders for custom cycle tops, I know how much they cost......

If enough of you are interested all at once, ask STW nicely if they will lend you the pictures for their xc jerseys, then you can get the likes of Champion Systems or TheCycleJersey to make you a big (ie >10) run of them. Then STW don't have to go to the bother/risk of ordering and selling them themselves.

no thanks, 3 pockets along the back and 3/4 length zip please

With a zip all the way down front and pockets on side/front (We wear Camelbaks ya know )

i hate camelbaks, last resort if i wear one

Why would anyone want to be seen alive or dead in a Singletrack jersey, racing snake or fat biffer sized?

What if people thought you actually read it? 😯

'Then STW don't have to go to the bother/risk of ordering and selling them themselves.'

Nice. Seems a little size-ist. 'Relaxed-fit lovers only worthy enough for approved bootleg apparel' shocka! Understand the point on risk and determining a market for this but a more sensitive chap could get the wrong end of the stick there.
:-))

Medium in black, preferably long sleeves. No need for reinventing the ugliness of the '80's and their colour schemes.

Put me down for a medium CG....

If they make it nice and baggy like the Fox tops(cheaper as well would help) but me down for one, long sleeve preferred.

a more sensitive chap could get the wrong end of the stick there.

That's OK there's always comfort eating to cheer him up....

cookeaa - that made me chuckle 😆

Yes please - a bit of shape would be nice too but hey, it's no problem to get the sewing machine out - I usually have to with d/h jerseys anyway 😕

Yep I'd buy one, similar to mt500 or royal racing loose cut trail jersey. Black/ brown is good.

I'd consider a baggy STW jersey, but I've passed on the XC/roadie style ones they generally produce.

I don't get baggy. Closer fitting stuff (not necessarily skin tight!) wicks better and is more thermally effecient. Each to their own 🙂

grapefruit, you could be a right chuffing big biffer and still fit in the biggest size 'proper' stw jersey. 😉 Lycra stretches outwards fabulously in my experience!

Its more about whether the image of stw is rad/core enough for enough non xc/roadie types to want to drop £40 on a more t-shirt like jersey. A bit like if southerndownhill did a 3/4 zip back-pocketed xc jerseys. With elasticated sleeves and optional arm warmers.

Not me, I'm wondering if small is going to be tight fitting enough.

Good luck with those diets 😉

grease me up

Merino too?

O.K., I'll say it... this was done a few years ago; I think a final design was done too, but despite much excitement at the time it never made it into production. Mind you, that was back in the day before the mag went all freeride... 😯

I'm sure someone with a better memory than me will be along with all the details before too long. IIRC its non-appearance was the subject of tongue-in-cheek comment on here for quite some time 8)

I'm interested, I'd want an idea on how it would look first though 🙂

There's an ad in the back of issue 61. I fancy the LS one because it looks like Captain America top.

Why not and can we have them in I know I'm too big to be a cyclist sizes to please! ie xl/xxl!! 😀

Mr Wilson- fair point on the fabulous stretchificatory (if it isn't already a word, it is now) properties of lycra. I wasn't being entirely serious so no probs. It's true though that those of us toward the less aerodynamically able end of the whippet/ biffer scale sometimes don't wish to broadcast our silhouettes in unseemly detail. Hey ho.

full length zip, no pockets on the back/zip, dont want a v neck though want it a bit higher for when its nippy, and 3/4 of short sleeves, can t we have a design comp?

I'd deffo like one

3/4 Sleeves (for occasional pad friendliness) and I'd get one.

Just to buck the trend in a S (no XL or XXL's here thanks)!

Add me in L or XL - don't understand skinny fit! Not white

Deffo not 3-4 sleeve !!!

What do you wear if/when you have elbow pads on though? Normal SS tops only come down half way down my bicep giving a nice embarrassing gap above the pad.

Or do 'FR' style short sleeves come up a bit longer?

Long Sleeve, Black, with a Zip

(Also with an angry looking rabbit and pink writing? 😆 ?

Long sleeve, merino wool, stw roundel logo embroidered in red on the left shoulder and blue on the right. Oh in large please!!

I'm currently unsure as to a roll neck version....

Those baggy, v-necked, sack-like jerseys are one of the things I really hate about mountainbiking.

MrNutt: Oh in large please!!

Have you been on the pies???

As long as it has rear pockets and is an XC cut, sign me up.

I'd be much more likely to buy a mincecore light jersey for bloaters than a roadie jersey for anorexics. 🙂

I'm anticipating the winter spread 😀

Gosh, so many replies! Thank you all for responding. 🙂

My biggest bugbear with cycle clothing is cheap looking fabric that doesn't actually wick, and costs a fortune. So ...

[b][badlywireddog to the Forum please, assistance needed!][/b]

SO STW is this possible?

I'd be up for one. My normal riding jerseys are the race face and sombrio looser fit ones that look more like normal t-shirts. The proper freeride/dh ones I've got are too heavy for normal riding. I think you either have one or the other and if you must have space for pads, buy the next size up.

i normaly wear skintight lurid lycra for riding................
but i suppose i could go for a loser, figure hiding shirt...... 😉 8)

My fav shirt is an endura burner with three quarter sleeves. Something like that.

Put me down for any sort of MTB appropriate attire.

Tony - the obvious one liner is killing me but I'll try to keep it to myself

Lol @ ton, man-sized for you then? 😉

I have e-mailed Chipps and mentioned that many of the people I have ridden with are not of whippet build. Hell, we like our beer and pub stops are part of the ride. 8)

Will they be flouncy ?
Cos I dont do flouncy.
And no pleats.
I'm in if they're not flouncy or pleated.

do both short or long, 3/4 sleeve is for really short arms 🙂 🙂

One of my favourite cycling shirts that I own is my singletrack special reserve jersey. Fits perfectly, looks great and has lasted a long time with only a bit of fraying. One like that please.

This sounded like a good idea but I think it could end up giving STW/mtbing a bad image. The big, baggy freeride top with 3/4 length sleeves doesnt sound cool. Give this to a man wearing elbow pads, mincing round a trail centre and you've created a monster.

Its got to look sleek and fast, some sort of close fitting lycra top would be best, shortish sleeves and a zipped collar. Perhaps some pockets at the back you could store stuff in, so you dont have to take a camels back with you.

lmao. personally, a cotton tee shirt and baggies for me 🙂

But you've got the skills to match the freeride look!

The younger downhill/freeride generation will probably be seething at the fact the xc mincers have nicked their 'look'. I dont want to be a part of it so i'll stick with lycra jerseys.

its not about a look its just freedom of expression. ride/wear what you want

The good old days of wearing jeans and a t shirt for bike rides. Why does no one do this anymore!

i do unless its wet/cold as wicking tee's work betterer

I'd absolutely be keen if it could be somewhere between lycra XC stylee and full-on freeride-esque. I don't wear pads or ride a DH rig, but the skintight lycra look ain't for me either.

Oh, and I realise this is asking for the moon on a stick, but if it were less than the £94.99 required for a woll st top, that would be good 🙂

Loose cut top here would be great, wouldn't look like it has shrunk in the wash like my other stw jersey 😀

Good plan - I'd give one a go.
Oppositite problem from most for me, too much Lycra and I'm in danger of looking like a techicolour swan vesta when I put my lid on.
