LOL at number 3: teh awesomz.
But could it have longer brake hoses, please? And maybe mismatched wheel sizes?
But I would take one anyway, as it is.

#3 Should have the Longer / Lower/ Slower in a nod to delivery times somewhere
Or so protactor angles added to #3 like a tech drawing
Be nice to get a speech bubble with 'sic ride dude ' but I fear litigation

I'm trying to stealthily lurk on this while at work, but when I saw number 3 I did a 'guffaw' I think it's called.

Instant classic.

3 is the magic number for a reason. Put me down for a medium Ti version. That way it’s absolutely guaranteed to never show up 👍🏼

Genuinely laughed at 3 and 4 either is great as far as I'm concerned!

And the logo.... Genius!

Surprised someone hasn't posted this on the PB thread. Ahem.

All you need to do now is offer some bikes, offer to fight people and be an absolute **** to anyone that questions any element of your business, even if the question is a valid one about welds.

BINGO! You have a viable bike brand.

Are these t shirts fully representative of the UK scene, brah?

I did think a classic, "I wanted a Gnarpoon but all I got was this lousy T Shirt!!" one would work well.

"Designed on Drac's iPad" on the bottom of mine, please?

I think I would get fed up explaining "there's this website, where some bloke I've never met once out a bike together backwards, then two years later this bike company sold more t-shirts than bikes..."

So No.2 for me.

One on a normal cotton T and one on a biking top would be great.

XL for me too I would think!

That's the beauty of #3 for me. Yes, it's a bit of an in-joke, but it also just works as a quirky design. At Christmas I got a Howies t-shirt with a whale being carried in some kind of sling by a load of bikes. I have no idea what it means, nor does aybody I know, but I still like it.

”This T- Shirt? Why….yes! Yes , it is!”

Can someone explain the significance of that phrase - it crops up a lot on here and so just don’t get it.

‘Cor! That (thing) is expensive/cool!’

‘This (thing)? Why yes, yes it is’

If you have to ask**.....

That said, it's due to a conversion that occurred on the Premium Members forum I believe.

**No,I don't know either mate!

@jjprestidge as a newcomer my sense is it’s a bit like when somebody asks if a headset comes with a crown race - a perfectly reasonable question in my mind (errr because I had it in my mind the other week but decided not to ask!)...

Is this really going to happen op?👍

I like to under-promise and over-deliver, so 'No'.

Anyway, it looks like #3 is the winner.
I'll refine the sketch and font and I think sketch the little logos to match and get the final design all set up.
I haven't worked out how best to take orders, but I reckon either I'll do it all by Private Message and PayPal, or I'll set up a quick shop using ecwid.com
It'll all be at cost price. I'll make sure I don't lose money, but then if there's anything left over it'll go to Mountain Rescue.

I can't see there being any options other than size.
While I can see the appeal of a tech tee, I've had problems with peeling print before and want to keep things simple. It'll probably be a Gildan Premium Cotton tee. They are heavy duty, cheap and print really nicely. I quite like the idea of dark blue blueprint style, but then black is probably more universally appealing. I'll try them out.

Next step. I'll post up the final design.
