Always interested but imagine costs too high for distributed margin via shops.

To to blunt, there's not a lot of 'Design' happening there.

With a bit more thought to colours and typography they could look alright.

I always imagine guys with their name on their bike would have personalised car plates too.

Euro

His is something I have just come up with to add to my range of personal gifts/products and if it goes like my other items I am selling than I will be a happy man. Am still working on designs for the protectors but I think it could be a winner with the right designs etc

I put a Specialized one on my Ventana, (but blacked out the "Specialized" name). Nothing against Specialized though. 😉

How about black with black reflective lettering? Subtle with mates, lifesaving on the road!!!!

Merlin have a nice one of their own I got with my bike (they don't seem to sell them but I asked and got one thrown in). It's a bit harder textured than the normal neoprene ones like the specialized one but in a way I prefer the normal DHB one on the GFs rockhopper as it is easier to clean.

Personally I think it's a shame to see an inner tube or self amal silicone tape on a bike which has cost a lot of money. Fair enough on a pub bike - adds the look.

My email is in my profile so drop me a line if you want more sizing details for the C456. I am sure On One would be interested, can post it up on their facebook if you like as other owners may also want some.

Your 2nd phrase down reminded me of this famous Airbus cock-up:

Not for me, but I'm sure plenty of people would go for it.

if you can get the unit cost down I'd target shops

as I said earlier - Lizard Skins do it, for shops and teams, for free...

those 'amusing' ones up there are awful

Hate to say this but is there a copyright issue using Yeti name on a product for sale?

Like your idea there.

So overall quite mixed reviews about the idea. I shall take some of the ideas given and see where it gets me
