Pre-ordering 2013 jerseys...

Look, I’m not going to get overly philosophical here; we all know exactly how things played out last year.

Now, this is CRITICAL and extremely important: I need to gauge exactly how many of you are 100% committed. If your vote depends on what the final price ends up being, then please, don't bother voting. At this stage, it is impossible to give anyone a definitive number. Just look back at the old threads if you need context...

First and foremost, let me be clear: just because I’ve opened this thread doesn't mean I'm guaranteeing my involvement in this through to the very end. Right now, I just want to see where everyone stands.
Please read the poll carefully and only cast your vote if you are at least 99% certain about your choice.🙂

P.S. If you're looking for a multi-choice option, feel free to speak up in the comments, but please, make sure you're actually voting for something you're sure about.

So, despite there being zero movement on that group order for the new forum kits, we have another opportunity. Just like last year when the group decided to pool together for some Vitesse black-and-red long-sleeve tops, jackets, and the like, we can do it again now.

Basically, Rolex is moving into their fall/winter collection phase. Since our numbers aren't quite what they used to be during the first round, anyone interested should reach out to Rolex now so we can hit those manufacturer minimums required to secure a decent bulk discount.

The terms remain the same as always:
Shipping usually takes about 6 to 8 weeks. Fortunately, we shouldn't run into those customs delays we dealt with in previous years...
- We need a minimum of 5 units of a specific item to make an order viable.
Here is a look at the colors and designs available for order:

As for the specific gear options, here is what's on the table:

PROLINE JERSEY LS – thermal long-sleeve jersey.
PROLINE TRAINING JACKET – a thicker thermal jacket. Warmer than the long-sleeve jersey, though it isn't windproof.
PROLINE WIND JACKET MEMBRANE – a lightweight windproof membrane jacket; water-resistant.
PROLINE WIND VEST – a lightweight windproof membrane vest; water-resistant.
PROLINE WINTER JACKET – North Face style, a heavy windproof thermal jacket.
PROLINE BIB TIGHT – Winter bib tights made with Teflon-coated Superroubaix material; water and dirt resistant. Features ERGO+ chamois. Color: BLACK.

Plus optional extras: hats, collars, and North Face style covers for sprinters—all in black.
They also have arm and leg warmers in stock, which are available immediately.

P.S. If anyone is actually looking for summer kits, you can contact Rolex directly, as they currently have summer jerseys and bib shorts at a 30% discount.

As for the pricing on the items listed above, we won't know the exact figures until the order is finalized. If you need technical specs on any particular product, you can check their website directly:

Just keep in mind that through these group orders, the prices for us will be significantly lower than whatever is listed on the web shop.

Anyway, that's all I have to say for now...

And besides, prices have generally dipped since July 1st—all thanks to the transition to the Dollar...

We didn't join the Euro 😁

Back to the topic: It's just too expensive.

Yeah, you can definitely tell that prices have started to dip a bit around here lately.
@Kenneth Reyes/">@@Kenneth Reyes, I only linked the Vitesse site so people could get an idea of what they’re actually looking at. As I mentioned before, the prices listed on their official site and the ones we're actually being quoted are two different things entirely.

I've just received an updated price list—if anyone actually needs it, I can certainly forward it over...

Come on, just put it out there if it’s not like some big secret or anything

+1, I'm curious too. Honestly, having a ballpark figure would help people actually pull the trigger—those sticker prices on the webstore are brutal, and it's impossible to guess what kind of discount we'd actually see.

+1

I assume what Arthur Ross is talking about is a wholesale offer for the club, which would naturally vary depending on the order volume. I'm going to reach out to Rolex now to try and get at least some ballpark pricing—assuming we can hit certain thresholds, like ordering five or more units.
I'll post an update here once I know more.

Here is the data I've had on hand since this past June:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/irq0xrklip...jenik%20EU.pdf
I can't vouch for the accuracy of these specific prices given how much things have shifted lately, but it should give you a decent idea of the general market trends...

Once I hear back from Rolex, I'll let everyone know if there have been any significant changes.

Rolex says you should look at the price indicators for those items listed in this PDF, specifically where it mentions 10+.
There might be some minor adjustments here and there, but that’s basically the deal...

Here’s the breakdown of what we’re looking at:

PROLINE LONG SLEEVE JERSEY – thermal long sleeve shirt - 380
PROLINE TRAINING JACKET – a heavier thermal jacket. Warmer than the long sleeve jersey, though it isn't windproof. - 390
PROLINE WIND JACKET MEMBRANE – a lightweight windproof jacket with a membrane, water-resistant - 470
PROLINE WIND VEST – a lightweight windproof vest with a membrane, water-resistant - 375
PROLINE WINTER JACKET – North Face style, windproof thermal jacket, thicker construction - 600
PROLINE BIB TIGHTS – Winter tights featuring Teflon-coated Superroubaix material, water and dirt resistant. Includes ERGO+ chamois. - 530

Those are the rough estimates for pricing... there might be some minor fluctuations here and there...

It’s probably worth it, given they're sponsored jerseys. I still find eBay to be the best deal... usually at least half the price of anywhere else.

They’re some pretty cool little things, but man, those prices are definitely meant for the elite :/

Sure, the price list claims there are specific rates for teams and clubs—but honestly, I don't see how that distinction matters if you're ordering the exact same package anyway.

The price list is five pages long... how should I upload this so everyone can actually access it? Would a Dropbox link work for you guys?
