kieranleahy - you beat me to it !
Don't worry, I am wearing my skinsuit out there this Wed night.
Jules - There was a Japanese trackies looking for second hand KCC clothes a few years ago, we should push Charlie to sell them there 
Jul 31, 2012 at 01:18 PM
Yeah, what is the deal with our alleged Japanese fan club? Anyone have any real contacts?
Jul 31, 2012 at 02:34 PM
Sorry @JoshuaC, I couldn't resist - you will have a better crowd to show it off to on Wed than I did on Sun at least!
Good to hear we're big in Japan, like Spinal Tap. Bring on the free form jazz odyssey too. If we have some fans out there, would love to hear about it. Maybe we can swing some invites to go watch the international keirin series...
Have already sent my defective skinsuit off to the Pirate Manatee Team Sprint Foundation. Sorry.

white belly SS
Jul 31, 2012 at 08:46 PM
@ Christian
The white belly SS will be very—how can I put this—risqué.
Jul 31, 2012 at 08:50 PM
You in a skinsuit is how do I say it, risk-ay

I prefer "sausage suit".
Jul 31, 2012 at 11:13 PM
If you're afraid of a little risk, not only is the sausage suit out of the question, but so is bike racing.
Risque in a skinsuit is dangeresque.

TRADE/SELL
Looks like I ordered wrong ;(
Bib Shorts: Edge - Medium, Endurance (Orange Dimples) Chamois, Men's Cut $95.80
Short Sleeved Jersey: Edge - Large, Race Cut $70.40
They are new and unworn. The bib shorts are too small so I'm looking for a large. The jersey is too big, so I'm looking for a medium.
Please send me a direct email through the forum rather than posting here.
Aug 01, 2012 at 12:57 AM
@carey..I'll take em both off your hands if still available. Hit me at neilxross@yahoo.com or 917-579-6580.

Fall Kit Order
Ok, now that I have your attention...
I will be REOPENING the store early next week. Tell your teammates!!!
A few small changes to the options:
- 1" socks are gone (they nearly gave me a nervous breakdown trying to pick & pack them)
- Tech Jersey's are likely to go as well - just not enough difference from airlite
- If we're lucky and our design shop has the bandwidth we will have razor bibs on offer - ditto for bib knickers
- club cut is gone
That is all.
Aug 01, 2012 at 03:20 AM
i am looking to pick up my kit next week. where will i be able to pick it up??
Aug 01, 2012 at 03:20 AM
what? no club cut jerseys?
Aug 01, 2012 at 03:23 AM
OK FOLKS:
Kit will be dropped off at Ride Brooklyn sometime tomorrow morning. Here is the drill:
- check the contents of your bag against the invoice stapled to it
- SIGN OR INITIAL the Invoice
- LEAVE THE INVOCE WITH RIDE BROOKLYN!
- If anything is wrong/missing with the package, please leave it as-is at RB with a note and email me
If you are racing please make EVERY EFFORT to rock the new "KCC50" KitWhile you are causing whiplash left & right because you kit looks so damn fine, remember to be a good citizen; you are representing 50 years of racing and racers.If you see Ross or Graydon out there, be sure to give the a fist bump for all the hard work.
@dsanossian SEE ABOVE.
Aug 01, 2012 at 03:56 PM
Got my kits yesterday. Love them.
I'm really digging the air lite jersey, FWIW.
My only complaint is that these sleeves are very pro-length, whereas the old ones were shorter. I've worked hard to establish some very pro tan lines that cannot possibly survive the transition.
Aug 01, 2012 at 04:08 PM
The new sleeves are indeed much more pro. I recommend a series of arm lengthening exercises
Aug 01, 2012 at 04:52 PM

What's wrong with white belly SS?
Aug 01, 2012 at 11:49 PM
What's wrong with white belly SS?I agree I don't understand the obsession with the "transition"
Aug 02, 2012 at 12:22 AM
Blue belly looks like a blocky teletubby.
Aug 03, 2012 at 12:04 AM
If anyone is picking up their kits and coming to the race Saturday...could you kindly get mine???? I live on the Island and driving into Brooklyn to pick up the kit would be a real kick in the nads. Thanks...Yacks

I would like to extend a " grand chapeau" to Jules for all the efforts he made organizing the sale. True dedication for the sake of the club that we all can now enjoy!
Aug 04, 2012 at 09:46 PM
Hey yo, rocked my kit this morning and on the way back from the race, I got some positive feedback from a Dave Jordan team rider named Lance who said that not only did he think the new design looked clean and sharp, but that he's been hearing similar thoughts from other riders.
JP adds that Anthony Lowe (?) or one of the not Burrows brothers WE Stand United dudes, was all like, "that kit so cool, it makes me want to join." Or something like that. Fear that. Mental note to designers, make kits uglier next time.
The longer sleeves came up during the race between Robertson and I. To be honest, since I've gotten fat, and my new building's laundromat dryers come with two temperature settings, "Fire ball" and "Surface of the Sun," I'm used to nothing really fitting me right.
I will say, that this year's "medium's" are a smidge bigger than last years (which in my case is fine, because, I'm a "smidge" bigger too). Same goes for the shorts and the material seems a little closer to actual material too. Last year's short's appear to be made of some incredibly tight and only vaguely stretchy plastic wrap like material.
I do also appreciate the increased amount of stretchy fabric where the bib material used to be sewn in. I will suggest to the club however, that we lobby for a full compression, spanks-like, belly panel to hide my muffin top.
Finally, I am apparently the only one who does not like the double trouble dimpled diaper up the dumper that is the new chamois. So I got the old style chamois and I love it even more that it is now bright cherry red instead of gun-metal grey. It's like I've got a baboon butt or something.

Marc, that's music to my ears. Thanks buddy.

Ricky Lowe to Kissena.
WDC BFF!!!
Also, great to see Anti-Anti get the shout out on the jersey.

I only used the dimpled chamois for the first time this morning. My initial impression is not so favorable. I remember the old leather chamois fondly, frankly. I think we have gone overboard on the padding. These dimpled orange ones actually make crinkly sounds when you compress them.
But I agree with the consensus about the design. Ros did a fantastic job. It will be hard to force myself to use the old kit for training rides. Shaving ones nipples is a small price to pay for looking good!

I concur !
Aug 05, 2012 at 01:00 AM
Up here I'm getting all kinds of "whoa, awesome (new) kit" comments from guys from Hudson, Siggis, Danberry Audi, Axis, Six Cycle and others. Brain can't quite rewind right now.
So cool to be able to point to Anti-Anti on the jersey...
@ Thierry, aw sucks. Thank you, but remember that Ros & Crew with the design, Ryan & Myles with the sponsors did most of the heavy lifting. I just worked the phone a lot. It was/is a pleasure.
Not sure we're ready to be the coolest team in town, but ... some have Greatness thrust upon them...
Aug 05, 2012 at 01:28 AM
It was Ricky mos def. I was thinking of WDC when he said it.
