Slowtwitch forum members charity 'apparel' and 'race hats' - Pics. by 'hottie thread candidate' Heather of Cervelo
Quote | Reply
The ever-charming and helpful Heather, apparel guru at Cervelo and forum member herself, kindly took some snapshots of the first samples produced of the 'Peaceful tribe' apparel!

For those of you that don't know about this, like cervelodude, the Peaceful Tribe apparel is all about forum members around the world having an identity which joins us in spirit when they're out training, racing....whatever.....whilst at the same time raising money for our chosen charity The Challenged Athletes Foundation.

The Challenged Athletes Foundation, headed by Virginia Tinley, (Scott Tinley, the triathlete's wife) is actively going through grant requests and individual cases for us to focus on directly, i.e. whatever we donate we will see the fruit of, so to speak, rather than donate to a large charity where the money is a drop in the ocean.

We will literally know who we're helping out and see what we have bought/done for them.....

Place your orders on www.cervelo.com/tribe and you will also see how much money is raised with each piece sold. Important to say is this has been produced at 0% profit and it ALL goes to charity. Some of us are even losing money on this so the commitment is unquestionable.

We hope to raise $10,000 or more! So, this is your chance to buy some kharma and cool in one go!!!!! Do it....

First the caps. We are producing 300 of them and they have the logos embroidered. produced by Headsweats, official supplier of Ironman and Cannondale brands for example. The cap features a Challenged Athlete Foundation logo on the side of the cap which we can't see here....



Now, the short-sleeve tee shirts:



Now the sleeveless:



Finally, the long-sleeve tee shirts:



So there we have it.....the text is in red by the way, some of the fots have suffered through downgrading the quality of the image to get them up in here fast.....

Let's keep this bumped up all day every day because there are many people who still don't know about this....thanks everyone.

they look absolutely sweet. This is an amazing thing that you have created Stephen, I'm sure I can speak for everyone on here when I say a heartfelt thankyou for all your hard work and also to Heather and everyone else at Cervelo for stepping up and running with this.

My only problem now is that despite having put in an order for 2 hats and one each of the T-shirts, having seen the photos, I now want a race top too. Not sure if the budget will stretch that far this time.

Cheers,

Justin.

thanks for your kind words...much appreciated!

Yes, the race top is soooooooooo cool....probably the coolest item???? I wear sleeveless out on the bike from May to October and all-year round running, so I'm definately buying one....

By the way, I am buying my own apparel and hat, no freebie for me....

I don't think anyone for a moment suspected otherwise.

I have a hat already, not with the Peaceful tribe design but samples sent to me by Alan Romick of Headsweats...and it's a fantastic tech material...super-light.....run with it the other day when it was warm and it worked well.....recommended.

hahahaha....yes, I did actually....Alan sent me two caps and a headband with a peak type thingie....the caps were the Timex 2004 Ironman cap and another of the CAF (Challenged Athlete Foundation). The headband an Ironman branded one.

Did not get samples from anyone else at all.....the fots you saw posted were pics they sent me and I added logos etc using Photoshop!!! So, no Oomph, Hincapie, LeslieJordan or Crafts at all.

See, complete transparency....

These are really nice with one exception...why does it have to have Tom Demerly's name on them?

get the sleeve-less, get a pic done and send it to me for her.......but not with a four-x in your hands and a gut......hahahaha

by the way, Tom Demerly wrote the article that inspired this:
http://www.bikesportmichigan.com/editorials/0000071.shtml

So it's like an author's quote.....hey, he's a good guy....

hahahah perfect....

The OFFICIAL EXPLANATION hence....and how to say it:

Look away from the person who has just asked, OR look through them.....pause for 6 seconds, make the silence unnerving...then say...."It's like Zen, if you don't know I can't explain it....."

Then walk away.....

Shouldn't we have Tom's disclaimer "I sell tri related stuff" (or whatever it says) beneath his name on the jerseys? ;)

Please bump this up for me as we can't let this out of sight....we have new forum members every day I would guess.....and then there are those, like cervelodude who hadn't even noticed what this was all about!!!!

Thanks for all your help. Remember, it isn't for my sake but for the Challenged Athlete Foundation....

By mid-February we should have a person or case to directly help out!!!!! This will be great as it won't all be lost in the ocean of money the UNICEF's of this world get from all over the world.....

please bump it up!
