Delgado Posted September 25, 2009 Posted September 25, 2009 Hell, we could be onto something here ..... what about running a "competition" to design the new SA cycling kit The UK design with the image of the Union Jack draped across the kit would look awesome with our Fred Brownell designed flag...... Joseph's technicolour Y-Fronts???
Nialls101 Posted September 25, 2009 Posted September 25, 2009 Let's hope the kit doesn't get stolen at OR Tambo on their return, No South Afican will never to able to race overseas again I highly doubt Anatomic will not supply our riders with new kit... It's their brand being promoted to an international audience. They would want to showcase how good their products are right?
Seepglad Posted September 25, 2009 Posted September 25, 2009 Hi Guys One skinsuit did not make it to its final destination. All the kit is brandnew, except for those guys who used the new Velotex designed kit earlier this year in Langkawi. No-one is using someone else's except for a logistical buggerup where Jaco and Jay had to share skinsuits. This is the info we have at our disposal back here at home. Each person also received offbike kit. We take responsibility, and if any slipped up, we'll action the correct responses. |As from next year, we'll have a dedicated manufacturer, who is sponsoring all our stuff, AND we'll get all our kit at the start of the year, according to this manufacturer. We hope never to have a situation again of lastminute deliveries or a shortage of equipment or kit. We do believe that this year has seen a marked improvement in policy, in delivery, in commitment, etc. Welcome, Hunted, et al, if not so? Carinuslatrinus emmer2009-09-25 01:53:00
Seepglad Posted September 25, 2009 Posted September 25, 2009 How pathetic is it when our National team for two years running has had to have riders use cycling kit' date='wash it and then pass it on to another athlete. I find that very poor.. what is wrong with the people who run the system, cant be that hard to organize enough kit per head.. [/quote'] Robert, it is a slip-up (one skinsuit - let me know if there's more - appreciate your support on carinus@cyclingsa.com or +27724499035). Also chat to Barry, he'll provide you with the facts. I see Daryl is also commenting on this on twitter. Go have a good ole chat with Barry, he is the project manager and we are most satisfied with his work. See you back at home soon! Call me. Carinus

Colnago Posted September 25, 2009 Author Posted September 25, 2009 One slip up it might be...by over the past years how many slip up have there been.. Last year the same mistake was made..so if it happened last year why did it happen again this year. Should we not all learn from our mistakes and move forward..to me it seems the same mistakes are made way to often.. Also coming to the federation with Gripes of any kind does not seem to help.. calls have been made, messages left and some people just never get back to anybody.. so then if this is the case why should the problems be brought forward.. seems better to just bitch on the hub, of which i was never a member till two days ago.. Amazing how fast a response i get now..

Slowbee Posted September 25, 2009 Posted September 25, 2009 I like Mr Emmer, a spade can never be confused with a pick!
rock Posted September 25, 2009 Posted September 25, 2009 what does the off bike kit consist of? Crocs?

Apologies if ever I did not reply to a message of yours in the past (can't recall though). And don't worry about your own "mistakes," those are of the past. Best wishes. thanks also for the pm. Wave that flag for us in Mendrisio today and tomorrow! Carinus

We will forgive Hunted his lack of Hub credentials. He seems to be suitably qualified to comment
Colnago Posted September 25, 2009 Author Posted September 25, 2009 He Carinus When i say calls not being returned its the whole office and yes that includes our president. This is even more frustrating when ideas are being given to improve cycling in SA for all cyclists across the board and no notice gets taken. Again i say what is the point of sitting with people discussing things,when you know the minute the meeting is over all is forgotten.. This has also happened with other partied to verify.One year later not one reply as to what we discussed in a meeting on ideas to help cycling.. Lastly please let me know what mistakes have been made by me..i happily have them on the hub..got nothing to hide.. Robbie
