Tribro, how much are the jerseys and when do you think you might have some available? I remember you talking about them in another post, but not sure where.

The jersey's are $52 (the retail price of the plain TYR Jersey). Because it takes longer than I expected to get them completed I opted to order 25 extra so I have some in stock. They should arrive with the batch on Saturday. So, I'll have a few available in most sizes. You can order one here if you like:

*grin* we should just get everything trifuel!
(but I'd probably go for shorts... if it was a brand that is comfy for me)

Paul -
I just emailed you a design for a water bottle. Check it out!

Shorts are tough. I may look into next year but Short selection is more personal as comfort (padding) and fit are more critical than that for the Jersey. The Jersey's were possible thanks to Sonik Performance who can add the logos to white material after the fact, so ordering the Jersey's was easier. White shorts wouldn't be very popular for obvious reasons ;) I think we'll stick with Jerseys, Visors, Stickers, Socks (hopefully), and possibly T-shirts in the future as well. Oh, and maybe those temporary tattoo's - no promises though I'm starting to get a little carried away. :)

Is there any way they can do black jersey's as well? As nice as the white looks, when wet I'm guessing it is going to be pretty clear...

Thanks for the email. I checked it out. Good idea on the water bottles. Maybe something else I'll look into. I have looked at stuff like CafePress for hats, t-shirts, bottles, etc, but I just haven't been very happy with the quality and selection. I've tried to hold off until I could find ways to get the stuff on quality materials like TYR, hopefully DeFeet, etc. It's important for me that people like the stuff and would wear it regardless if the Trifuel logo was on it. I hear Specialized does nice bottles, maybe I'll look into those. Thanks for the feedback.

On the black Jersey's, unfortunately they can only sublimate on white. FYI that's why during the tour the yellow jersey's always have the white box on the front and then they sublimate the current holder's logo in that white box - just learned that myself.
I may try to do a small run next season with Sugoi or someone to have a colored Jersey option. But it'd probably be a small limited edition run as I have to place the order in October/November to get them for the Spring.

Can't you get a good opaque sports bra?

That is sweet Tribro! That was a quick growth spurt from 3000 (if my memory serves correctly)! Carried away?!? Nah. You're just doing what any of us would do in your situation. ;) Can't wait for the stickers, socks and temp tattoos. That'll be awesome!

kyillee-
There was an article in a recent issue of 'Runners World' and
they did reviews of running\sports bras.
Maybe check that out,
or wait until Tribro gets the stickers out and place a few of them strategically :D

Better than fig leaves.
If you get enough stickers you can look like a race car.
Think of the sponsorship opportunities.
Remember, I get 15% as your agent :D

Back on the topic of this post... and getting more members...
Tribro -- I like the little mini-banner that flashes "inspire inform connect join trifuel". Would there be a way to get those to link to a referal page and let us place them on our webpages?

Tattoo's - not sure yet, just thought of that yesterday. Have to look into what it costs, etc.
Kylie, great idea. Very cool. You can grab the banner by just doing a right mouse click over the banner which should give you a drop down menu to save file to your computer. It's an animated .gif so it should work on any site.
To link to the referral page and get the credits, hyper link using the URL below except swap out the "1" at the end with your member ID number:
http://www.trifuel.com/forums/sendmessage.php?do=sendtofriend&refer=1
You can get your ID number clicking on your username in the post to get to your profile. For example clicking on your name takes me here:
http://www.trifuel.com/forums/member.php?u=880, your ID to swap at the end is "880"
Make sense?

Tribro --
I can get the pic onto the page and linking,but that seems to take me to the page to send an email to refer someone. If someone visits my webpage and wants to register, I want it to take them to a page where they can register but it puts my name in as referring them... does that make sense? Is it the same link, just a different action if not logged in to trifuel already on the computer?

nope... logging out didn't make that link work.
Should it be http://www.trifuel.com/forums/index.php?referrerid=880 instead? (again, the 880 being trifuel id)

Ah, right. Oops...
Try using this link:
http://www.trifuel.com/forums/index.php?referrerid=1 Again substitute the "1" with you ID number.
This will take them to the forums section and flag them as being referred by you, if they click through to register during that session it'll track you as the referrer.
As well, during registration there is a field for Referrer that they can insert your username if for some reason it doesn't work or they go back to sign up at a later date.

wow thats great were getting big.
PAIN IS TEMPORARY, PRIDE IS FOREVER!
Whether you think you can, or you think you can't you are right!
We're almost at the big 4,000. Trifuel continues to grow, we've got racers out there now with uniforms, it's awesome! Thanks guys.
BTW: I should have the second batch of Jersey's on Saturday so those of you waiting should receive them next week (sorry again for the delays). I also checked out a die cutter for stickers so I'll be sending them artwork today and may even have them by next week as well. I figured die cutting was a better route than traditional bumper stickers so you can put them on car windows, bike frames, helmets, water bottles, basically whatever you want. I'm going to ping DeFeet this week as well to look into the socks.
