I would love one of these.
I haven't figured out how to track threads or more importantly to find posts that I've made.
So, please keep this and let me know when you send in another order or tell me how to keep up with you.

No sweat, Curtis always starts a thread here in 50+ (duh) to let members know when he's taking 50+ jersey orders. If you hang around you can't miss it. :)

Saw my first of these jerseys in the wild last night, on the W&OD trail near Gallows Road in VA. Who was that mystery man?

Curtis, I love everything about that jersey. Thanks for all the talent and time you put into the design and execution. As an added bonus, it matches my bike perfectly!

Okay that's it. I'm on the list for the next order.

Beverly--You noticed the color coordination! Cool! (And also why I can never own a blue jersey: it would never match the bikes!)

That's why all my bikes are black;) Black goes with everything:thumb:

Thanks for all your hard work on these jerseys Curtis, I love it!! The first one I got from you was a tad tight. Planned to give it as a gift to a skinny cycling cousin, but unfortunately he passed away before I was able to get it to him. I wouldn't mind selling it to some of the folks out there who missed out on this order. It's a race cut, size large, never been worn. If anyone is interested, just send me a private message and we can work out the details.

Thanks again - hopefully there's a vest or jacket in my future!

qcpmsame 07-16-08 12:10 PM

Oh Bev, didn't you hear, 50+ is the new Black:p

I've been on vacation for a couple of weeks. When I returned to the office today, it was there waiting for me.....It fits great. At least it will when I work off the pounds I put on over the last few weeks.

Thanks for putting this together again Curtis.

ajk03 07-16-08 07:12 PM

OK - I got photos to share. Wore the 50+ jersey to work and back today.

These are post-ride pictures. What you can't see is the sweat soaking everything. It's gotten hot and humid finally in the Chicago area.

That's an XL club cut jersey. I must extend my appreciation to Weight Watchers for helping me to improve the fit over the last several months. Earlier this year this jersey would have been a bit snug just below the "50".

Thanks again to Curtis for the design and the effort to help get these to all interested parties.

Here's me in mine. These are the demo photos from the Seattle to Portland ride. I need to figure out how much I'm willing to spend to buy their prints now.

I got to try the vest. Really liked it. It took just enough chill out of teh morning and was small enough to stuff in the rear pocket.

The jacket is fine, but I think the sleeves are too big around. Not a lot, just a hair. I'd have liked it to fit tightly.

A sewing machine can quickly fix that:) A serger would be even better.

I got my short sleeved jersey last Friday and kept waiting for my long sleeve to arrive. I was going to wave the red flag if it hadn't arrived in yesterday's mail (not the Curtis flag, the US Postal Service flag :D). It was there when I got home from work...guess they just had to change horses. Still working on getting some pics.

Edit: Thanks again for all your hard work Curtis

Wow. They all went out at exactly the same time. The post office. Enough said?

qcpmsame 07-17-08 12:35 PM

Absolutely. That's why I didn't bother contacting you as it was out of your hands when you handed the package to the postmaster. Some horses on the pony express are slower than others. :)

I learned a couple of years ago with this brand to order my vest and jacket one size smaller if you are like me and don't want flapping around.:thumb:
Every brand is different.

spanky1 07-19-08 07:30 PM

I'm new to Bike Forums. I would really like one of those jerseys. When you place the next order would it be possible to ask if any new members would like to purchase the 50 plus and the new one yet to be designed. Thanks

Couldn't agree more about Weight Watchers, I am down 60 lbs. I got the XL Club cut Jersey, it's a bit loose, I think maybe I should have gotten the Race cut. But no matter it's great.

Thanks again Curtis, it a fantastic job you've done.

Very cool, more WW converts! I'm down 55 lbs and just 10 more to go. :thumb:

Joe Gardner 07-23-08 10:25 PM

I picked up a 50+ jersey on the black market... still 20 years shy of the big 5-0, but figured I should plan ahead. No pics, but it does match my my red and black fixie perfectly.

OldLog 07-24-08 07:20 AM

Add me to the list if and when you decide to place another order.

BigBlueToe 07-24-08 10:07 AM

Curtis-
I just arrived home from a month-long tour (actually two weeks riding time and two weeks of driving, visiting, etc.) to find a package waiting. It's my 50+ jersey! It fits great. I can't wait to wear it at my next century and see if any other old coots are wearing theirs. Thanks again. I really appreciate your willingness to do this.

- A Happy Old Coot

P. S. Is there a 60+ forum? I've only got 3 more years.
