Hid,

Will these be available in women's sizes. No - I'm not a cross dresser but my wife might like them.

Yes. The sizing charts and ordering forms are on the website. http://mrtibbs.almaneih.com

"your horse is too high" - tigerchik

Does anyone know how Sugoi's sizing runs (big or small)?

Also, Hid, is there a way to combine shipping if we buy shorts and top?

Lastly, are these tri tops going to be semi mid driff showing? As a clyde I'm a little self conscious of how much belly I show off.

Thanks for putting this all together.

Do the tri-tops have a zipper?

Does anyone know how Sugoi's sizing runs (big or small)?

I would say small. Luckily the sizing chart is really accurate. At 5'10", 160 lbs I wear an XL top and I don't consider myself a big guy :-)



Also, Hid, is there a way to combine shipping if we buy shorts and top?

I was trying to set something like that up but couldn't figure a way to do it through PayPal and I didn't want to take on the expense of using a shop service.

I'm not Hid, and don't really know any of the details - but I would imagine that these tops are built from the same patterns that they offer to everyone. Looks like a nice 3/4 length zip to me. :)

What's the profit percentage of the cafe press gear? I'm just curious because $7 for a TSR sticker seems pretty steep, but if I knew that $4 or 5 of it was going directly into the fund, then that's cool.

"Stick to the facts man, they are good enough, no need to go making stuff up." - STP

Hid,

These are awsome. I'm all over this, and would like to get at least two pairs of shorts and two jerseys, but it will only let me order one at a time. WTF? Do I just submit four to six orders? That seems like a real complicated way to fly.

I'm also unclear on the sizing. I know Sugoi runs small, but I usually wear M shorts and L jerseys at 6-0 170lbs. Someone below says he's 160 and wears XL. I hate loose jerseys for a tri, so if it just doesn't fit, is there any way to return them.

Also, will you be over-ordering so you can continue to sell them after the initial order? Maybe I can just get one set and make sure of the fit before "stocking up."

Wait a second, you have raised more than $1k already, right? Then it means that Tibbs get at least a p2k form Gerard!

If that is correct, how come it was not on the front page of this morning's paper? That is BIG news!

why stop at the p2k. that's like handing him a playboy, when he could really go for a hustler.

Don't take me wrong, I totally agree with you, let's shoot for the p3, but I still think that it is big news that $ 1k were raised. I remember Gerard saying something to the effect that he made the offer since he knew there was no way the money could be raised. Well, he was wrong!

"Well, he was wrong! "



Oh no no you must not say such things. Gerard is a specail man. His knowledge is unending and cosmic. He has brought us into a new world of understanding and peace. His bike porn is most high.

I have no idea what this thread is about.

As promised, I'm in! Thanks again to Hid, but I still say Gerard should offer to make a donation to a charity of his choosing. Or at least pay for Tibbs' legal bills...

---

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Aw what the hell...gotta be a man of my word even with the sucky Canadian dollar..and since no one this side of Tibbs is more into second hand tri stuff than me...I'm in. I can worry about the details later. Besides..anyone can ride in a RNH, Orca, Craft, yadda yadda yadda tri outfit...I wanna stand out in a crowd. I'm second hand and proud of it.

An interesting point to be made here..no one will argue that Hid has done more for the fund than anyone else which qualifies him for

2) the slowtwitcher who raises the most money for this undeserving cause will get his/her choice of Cervelo apparel (top+bottom or a one-piece, cycling or tri).

Which begs the question...which colours will Hid fly? Or will he go overboard on being noble and donate said apparel to Tibbs..so he matches? Inquiring minds.

A man can't make a simple mistake and bump the wrong thread?

customerjon @gmail.com is where information happens.

I will try to answer all the questions that came up since the time I went offline last night.

People ordering more than one item - I will try to organize the shipments so you receive one package and include a check for the difference in shipping.

Amount of Money Raised - The amount includes donations made for companies to have their logos on the tri tops. If no tops are sold then their donations are not collected. So we really need to sell at least an orders worth (12 units) of tops. The amount also includes a few sales from http://www.cafeshops.com/tsrshop and approximately $520.00 of donations from people on Slowtwitch.com and Trinewbies.com.

Shipping outside of the USA - I thought PayPal figured that out for me but I guess I was wrong. I will have to figure out shipping from San Jose, CA. USA to where ever you are. I'll most likely be contacting those people via email.

Why Not Stop at the P2K - I find this to be a funny form of thinking considering the over achieving nature of triathletes. Nuff said.

Why do we help someone we don't know - Easy, we are civilized, good natured people. Plus a lot of us do know eachother.

Which Gear will Hid Wear - I'll start by saying that I didn't do any part of this so I could get free gear from Cervelo. Between creating the graphics, setting up the shops, answering emails, contacting companies for donations; I've easily spent a 3k worth of my time on this - I could have bought a lot of gear for that. With that said, what I will wear depends on the day. I have enough gear to ride 8-days without wearing the same thing twice but I will definitely accept the gear from Gerard. I will of course race in my TSR gear :-)

Playboy vs Hustler - I'm not touching this one.

Agreed. What is the point of Playboy?

dunno, besides the usual crap about it being more artful and because of the articles. though if i ever get the unrealistic opportunity attend a party at the playboy mansion, i would be much thankful for the revenues which created the playboy empire.

not to say the p2k is no prize (proud owner of one). hot, fast, and dangerous. but i tend to think that tibbs would prefer the sluttier bike.

well, he is a slutty kind of guy. I hear he may run for the Senate.

ok. fair enough. Benevolence is good. Helping those you know, or don't know can be good. Also, it seems true that a lot of people do know others who post here.

But you didn't answer the real question: Why are we buying someone a bike? Why does he deserve a bike? Is he disabled? In some legitimate way unable to buy his own bike? Wouldn't our donated money and fund-raising efforts be better spent exposing kids to endurance sports. Someone who may not otherwise have the means to buy a bike, or running shoes. That seems to make much more sense than buying an internet entity, who appears to be a functioning adult (haha), a new bike.

In keeping with the Secondhand Racing spirit, Gerard offered him a slightly used P2k or P3. So unfortunately he will not be able to ride in on a new bike.

2) I enjoy internet anonymity. Don't we all? Or will that be breached here?

Mister Tibbs,

Lacking the extensive and generous fanbase that you have developed, I just recently purchased by first tri bike with my own $. So I probably won't be involved in what I'm about to propose. However, in the spirit of team secondhand racing, when you receive your P3, you could logically pass your current bike along to another needy individual*. So my questions are:

1) what are you going to upgrading from, and

2) Will we see a "Win Mr Tibb's old bike" contest in the future. To be presided over soley by you, of course. But preferably held on the slowtwitch forum. Essay contest perhaps -- "Why I deserve to own Mr. Tibbs' old bike in 150 words or less". Maybe a challenge of wits -- "Explain Mr Tibbs' psyche without using the letter e" I'll leave the details up to you.

* Needy individuals only. The allure of owning an authentic piece of Mr Tibbs memorabilia must be resisted by all those who already have decent bikes.

The entire Team Secondhand Racing theme is spreading. Someone at IMCMA is making their driveway the Post Falls Donation Center for TSR.

"your horse is too high" - tigerchik

Bluff52..you're a genius.What an awesome idea. Sell off your old bike and donate the funds to a local amateur cycling team..or have a draw at said team..selling tickets to the them..winner gets the bike..team gets the money. Superkarmafragilistic.

"Which begs the question...which colours will Hid fly? Or will he go overboard on being noble and donate said apparel to Tibbs..so he matches? Inquiring minds.

Seems to me that the proper thing would be for Hid to wear it for, say, a year then only donate it to Tibbs...

That would require me to total all sales of tops and shorts, figure out shipping costs and taxes. Quite honestly, I only want to figure out that once. Right now we have a total of 43 combined sales or tops and shorts. There is around $10 of profit built into each top so we should be near $1,450.00.

Lance.

I've been trying to find a store with Sugoi tri-gear so I could try out the size before ordering, but I haven't found one. Sice I don't want to miss the deadline, iIs anyone else here, who is buying the TSR racing gear, around the following "dimensions?"

Height: 6'3"
Weight: 190
Inseam: 34
Waist: 35-36

If so, what sizes are you buying? I'm tall and fairly thin, and would probably wear an XL tri-short. The problem is the top. I don't want the midriff showing (which I think might happen with the XL), but I'm afraid the XXL top will be too loose.

Anyone have Sugoi tri-gear that can help with sizing?

I am

6' tall, 177 lbs, 42 inch chest, 32-33 waist.

I tried them on and I went with large shorts and a 2x top. the xl top would have worked but I found it a little tight. The xl was much longer than my 2x louis g and about the same as my L desoto top.

Hope that helped.

Dave

actually, that helps me, thanks

I was also worried about fit. I'm just bummed that I won't have it yet.

Just ordered mine.

Hid,

What's the count up to?

Dave

47 units. From people's inicial response I thought we would be close to 100.

Hid, I see we're getting close to the deadline, did you manage to get any answers on shipping? I'm in Brunei, Borneo.

Cheers,

Justin.

 
I'm in for a top and shorts as soon as I know the shipping costs to Japan.

All foreign orders please send your addresses to mr.tibbs@almaneih.com so I can figure out your exact costs.

Thanks,
Hid

"your horse is too high" - tigerchik

hi guys

Just put in my order. I figured that the black and red of the top would match my new bike perfectly. I presume that is no coincidence?

Also, I wonder if anyone else in NZ triland will have this gear? We will have to wait for summer to see.

Go Tibbs.

This sucks! We get ours late summer, you get the entire summer. Damn hemispheres.

---

--------------------------------------------------------------------

This may be in the thread somewhere, but I'm too lazy to look through all the posts.

After the order is placed, do we know how quickly they will be shipped? I'd love to have mine to wear at Ironman Wisconsin in September.

---

Steve Perkins

Dr. Doom the page http://mrtibbs.almaneih.com/ shows one of the early concepts but is not the final version. The order page (http://mrtibbs.almaneih.com/order.html) shows the final version.

To order more than one you select the size you wich to order and click 'Buy Now,' you will then be presented with an option to increase the quantity.

I've addressed multiple orders in an earlier post.

I'll send you a PM with how you can send your money for the sponsorship logo.

"After the order is placed, do we know how quickly they will be shipped? I'd love to have mine to wear at Ironman Wisconsin in September."

I'm taking orders for one more week and then placing the order which will take 3-6 weeks to turn around.

"your horse is too high" - tigerchik

Cool. Thanks, Hid.

Yes, but I get to pay around $200NZ for the whole shooting match, so its all swings and roundabouts my friend.

OK, I'm 5'11, 155lb, waist 33", chest 37". A desoto tri top in small is 'snug' and I take medium speedo tri shorts.

What would you suggest for the sugoi top and shorts.

Cheers,

Justin.

I'm having some problems with this, too. I can't bring myself to donate to anyone who is either a University of Texas grad or Longhorns fan. I just can't.

Huge stumbling block here.

Huge.

These people don't need to be "helped out," but rather robbed and have all of what they do have, taken, especially if they aren't gainfully employed right now.

Look at it this way...or that way. Now if look at it right here it looks diffrent then it did over there. If we throw some light on it here and created some more shadow on that side then it will look more like that. Take two super trooper spots and hit it from 35 degree angles you would see it is really bright from the front row. I could take 8 frenils on the number one track and 3 pars on the 3 track with blue and red gels then you have it like this.

That is how I look at anyway.

OK - kind of like snakes and ladders? That is, you go up and you go down, but it all works out even in the end?

Whatever - I can't wait for my TSR gear...has anyone road tested this stuff and is it true that it makes you .00356% faster on average?

[reply]Take two super trooper spots [/reply]

Oh man, I used to have to install those for shows. Carrying the spots wasn't too bad, as you could get enough people round them, but carrying the ballast up stadium stairs was a b@st@rd. Those things are HEAVY!

Never got cold on the outdoor shows though. Can you say 'hot'.

Placed my order for Top and shorts last night. All giddy with anticipation now.

Will it make me as cool as Mr Tibbs? At least I can pretend that I know him personally.

   

"At least I can pretend that I know him personally."


I wish that on no living thing.

Do we have any idea on when we will be able to don the much covetted TSR gear?

Actually, my first race is 14/11/04, so as long as I get it by then I will be happy as a rat with a gold tooth.

Tibbs, do you think the TSR gear will make us all faster?

---

"Tibbs, do you think the TSR gear will make us all faster?"

If some is ever designed and sold then yes it will take 2 hours off an Ironman and 23 seconds off a half. The math looks wierd but it's science. I don't see a design for the gear till sometime next year.

This is why New Zeland must be protected at all cost.

I have total faith in those figures. That is about what my own, informal, studies had shown.

I'm in - I just ordered a tri top and shorts. Thanks Hid.

mp

p.s. bump - time is running out!

[reply]OK, I'm 5'11, 155lb, waist 33", chest 37". A desoto tri top in small is 'snug' and I take medium speedo tri shorts.

What would you suggest for the sugoi top and shorts.

Cheers,

Justin.[/reply]

Anyone care to take a guess at sizing for me. i was thinking a medium in both top and shorts.

When's the deadline for orders, still haven't heard about the shipping, I'm guessing Hid's pretty busy with this.

J.

Deadline is today.

I'd get the Large, at least. I'm a thin 6'3" 190 lbs with 36 waist. The XL shorts are too small for me. I'm getting XXL top and XXL shorts, and praying the XXL top is long enough (I hate the bare midriff look).

---

-------------------------------------
Steve Perkins

I haven't had a chance to get shipping prices for some people so I'm going to push this until Tuesday and then place the order.

---

---

"your horse is too high" - tigerchik

I'm the same height, a little bigger. I ordered the XXL, based on what I read here. Please don't tell me I'm getting a "bro".

---

--------------------------------------------------------------------

You said it brother! Frank Costanza may like the "bro" but I don't have the tits for it. :P

Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find a tri top to try on. Hopefully, XXL will be long enough and not too loose.

Got any advance on the shipping Hid?

Cheers,

Justin.

Hid, what's happening, no shipping info, and I thought today was the deadline. Want to order, but don't want to double the cost with shipping. I can figure it out on the USPS site if you can tell me where you ship from, and what the weight of shorts and top would be.

Cheers,

Justin.

San Jose



I get weird figures when i tried from their site. Sorry for not getting back you, we released quarter endings today which means I've been slammed.

---

---

"your horse is too high" - tigerchik

I just tried usps and a 1.5lb package going air mail letter post costs $12.50. There are size restrictions but I don't think shorts and a top will be a problem there unless they're going in a box. If they go in a jiffy bag or similar it should be fine.

I'll put the order in now.

Thanks for all your hard work.

Cheers,

Justin.

Had to send a seperate email with the shipping address, paypal won't let you have an address out of the US, and there is no paypal in Brunei. Fortunately I have a stash of money in my US paypal from the ebay sales I did before leaving.

Cheers,

Justin.

Has anyone seen my dog? Oh there she is.

I don't know anything about ETA's, but the paypal went through, so I'm assuming he's placed the order and it's now up to Sugoi.
