Rant - Craft sale Epic gear.

[Joe Low]

And your feelings about a guy wearing a Springbok Jersey ?

Chubbies in sports kit look patriotic but also doff and amusing.

 

If you dont do sport, dont wear the clothes.

If you aren't likely to "just do it", don't wear Nike?

Now I thought the main reason for doing the Epic was to flaunt the stickers (jealously guarded against aging), bag and kit! Certainly they've earned it (and some respect from me).

if you did the race,wear the shirt.if not do not.even if i get a tshirt in the goodie bag(like xterra) i will not wear it prior to finishing the race.just think it is bad karma. but to each his own. i have not done the epic so i will not buy the epic clothing that denotes a finish never mind 3.

i have the same superstition about race shirts. Never remove them from the packaging until race is done.

Maybe Craft are selling the kit off because they no longer part of the Epic next year.

Perhaps they selling the kit to everyone to spite Mr Vermaak. I heard the break up was ugly. Assos will be the new kit sponsor.

wearing epic kit without doing the epic is like rocking up to a dinner with a green springbok blazer..or even a tie. you just dont do it

If I saw some fat slob in some amabubesi kit that I knew wouldn't make the 1st month of training let alone a stage but managed to browse the catalog while passing through the Craft Stall on his way to the St Elmo's Sliceaway I would kick him down the mountain then ride down and kick him back up

Wait, before I get my ass kicked by a random guy.

I did the epic over a year ago and I have picked up weight since. The only thing that still fits me is the epic branded buff. Thankfully my head is still the same size.

if you see a fat guy wearing an epic Buff, please don't blinksem him.

Thanks in advance

Nah don't agree, I've been using the MCC tie I bought on ebay to get me into Newlands members for the last two seasons. Match it with a clipped british accent, a 'i'm just in town on business and wondered if anyone could return a favour' and you're relaxing in comfort and looking at the general public growing pinker by the second while sipping on G&Ts.

You're probably not far off, now I know why I was being forced to accept that the Epic was now just a brand. Get over it people, its really not that big a deal, anyone with enough cash has bought an Epic stamp. There are far more important things to worry about in life. Just ride your bike.

Can someone post a link to the sale, I want to get some epic kit

Have you actually read the comments here ?

It is almost as dof as seeing husband and wife in a mall sporting a springbok jersey on a random wknd morning. Nothing wrong with being patriotic but lets be honest.................it looks really *** and somewhat kommen

On sale because Craft wont be the Epic's clothing partner next year anymore.

 

I placed an order not long after the Epic but only got a response from them about my order 4 weeks later and thought stuff it then!

 

If you wanna buy the kit without having a finish behind your name, it bothers me not. Poser!!

 

But please dont wear World Champ stripes, those are earned not bought and belongs to a few elite in the world.

 

Edit: World Champ not Cup
