monty and i have a trove of wetsuits, as you may know, that we inherited, and we have 2 that are signed. a tyr and a blueseventy. we don't know who signed them. same signature. any guesses? other than it's that well known ironman champion S.A. Schloz.

If you got them from Trisports then I believe they are LA's. He signed a few for them at one point.

At a premium now that we know who signed them I hope!!!

I was thinking that whatever triathlete had signed them that it would not matter too much except for someone that was a true fan of that person, but now that it is Lance. Whole other category!!!

Maybe we should have an auction....

My initial thought when your venture capitalist partner mentioned adding it to the classifieds was a silent auction might be a better alternative.

But I found myself wondering what would you do with one ? It would be kind of difficult to hang on your wall because of the size. Then again all you would need is a hanger.

Yes increased as a premium because it is Lance, and thereafter, severely discounted for the same reason.

aint gonna be no auction. that isn't why we inserted ourselves into the husbanding of the brand whose assets we purchased. maybe i'm just a severe unsentimentalist, but i've always just thought of tools as tools, and a wetsuit is a tool, not a collectible. i was given a jersey that has the signatures of all members of the pro tour team (including the tdf winner), and when the other jerseys are in the clothes hamper that jersey is what i ride in.

i do have one signed wetsuit that means more to me. the company i sold my wetsuit company to decided to move its manufacturing to china (i was long gone by them). i was given the last wetsuit my old factory made, signed by everyone who worked in the factory i built. that wetsuit is meaningful.

You found them! Praise the lord, I thought I’d never see them again. I knew I should have written my name more clearly. I’ll just PM my address so you can send them home.

Thanks again,

How about an auction with the proceeds going to Lawson Craddock’s velodrome project or to cancer research?

I'm not sure who'd want their wetsuit signed...as that is definitely a tool. It's probably worth less now though with Lance though.
