Rant - Craft sale Epic gear.

[Jaco-fiets]

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

 

The guys that do Craft is notorious for crap service. Ordered a few Craft items from my local bike shop some time ago. After about 4 weeks not even the bikeshop could get a response from them. Bought it eventually from another bikeshop. I love the brand but it is scary what a bad agent can do to the reputation of a good brand

 

This is my experience at least, so obviously very subjective

Yeah the world champs stripes are earned, and is allowed on any kit you wear for the rest of your life.

Amabubesi, though nowhere near at that level, is also earned.

In the 80's there was not the amount of kit that is available now.I had a jersey that had the stripes on and wore it without any remorse about the earning of the stripes.Many did.You could buy Southern Sun cycling kit and again many did but we did not ride for Alan's team...relax and stop making a fuss about nothing

BTW "Bosch" stands for Rondebosch Boys High so why are you wearing that??

I won't be surprised if it is Adidas again. They are making a big push into cycling apparel again.

 

ITO amabubesi available to anyone, seriously uncool. At least they could have offered it to real Amabubesi members at cost to get rid of it.

High stock levels reak of bad planning.

I am not saying dont buy replica team kit!

Everyone wants to look like the pro's or support a brand and I am totally cool with dat.

 

But those athletes that has won Worlds are allowed to wear those stripes ... instead of a medal around their necks ... for the rest of their lives.

 

So leave it to them!

 

I ask again, will you buy an Olimpic Gold Medal replica and hang it in your bar? And what exactly will you tell your friends about it!

 

Oh and I did not know or seem to find anything that "Bosch" was trademarked by Boys High. I ride in the Bosch of Stellenbosch baby!

It's what happens when people just don't get what others are on about.

Wear all the replica kit in the world as one pleases, go ahead be my guest.
