It's been a while since Dave Lewis produced the current Audax Cymru kit, and Mal Volio and I have been talking about producing a new batch for a while. Inspired by U.N.Dulates excellent Mille Cymru jerseys, we've come up with a new design that incorporates U.N.D's dragon and flag logo in a fiery welsh-flag colourscheme.
These will be available soon, in time for PBP qualifiers.
The design is still to be finally tweaked and we welcome feedback. In particular, let me know if there is a desire on anyones part for a PBP specific version, maybe with a strapline "Paris Brest Paris Dau Mil Un Deg Un" or similar.
Can I have expressions of interest initially please, so that I can estimate the final pricing. Small numbers will cost 45 euros each, less if we get a large number. I would guess they will be approximately £35 posted at this stage.
If someone on the Audax Yahoo group would be kind enough to point people at this message too, I would be grateful.

Oh my, I definitely want one of them. I'd be interested in a PBP version too, subject to qualifying, of course.
-
Looks good. As an ex-pat Welshman i'd certainly take one. What's the 'qualifying' criteria??
-
Please keep the rules for distribution.
Qualifying wearers are those that meet one or both of the following
1. Any audax rider born or living in Wales.
2. Any audax rider who has completed an audax starting in Wales.
-
Put me down for one.

As the owner of a MC1K jersey, I shan't worry about rule 2 excluding me :smug: ;)
-
Nice work there.
Yes' I'll buy one when they're available.
Edit: Personally, I'd rather a generic one than a PBP specific one.
Edit 2: I've changed my mind again. A PBP in Welsh would be great.
-
So some previous incarnations of the Brevet Cymru (starting at
Aust Severn View Services) would not qualify ;) ;)??
-
Being a lover of most things Welsh I'd be very interested - don't qualify yet unfortunately but I'm planning on at least one of this year's audaxes from Coryton, Rosgoch or Gladestry. I suppose if the jerseys become available earlier I could always do a Welsh DIY Perm?
-
Diolch!
You can add me for one (poss two if it is made available in LS)
Top Man Rob! :thumbsup:
-
HK and I will go for two or three between us, qualifying by starting brevets in Wales.
-
I'd be interested in a replacement for my old Audax Cymru jersey, particularly if it was PBP specific
-
As around half of my rides have started in Wales, I should qualify under rule 2 despite living the wrong side of the Severn. So put me down for one.
-
Looks super spiffing. I rode home from Wales last week (DIYs count, right?) but I've just decided to buy some new Willesden jerseys for the summer.
-
I'd take 2, I think, and I'd *love* a PBP version. I might even get an extra one for swopsies.

I think the Welsh lay claim to pretty much anything west of a line with Birmingham.

Will do. I have emailed Dave to remind myself what the criteria were but I think I have an ancient address for him. I'll make this clear when the firm orders are invited. I suggest that MC1K finishers are entitled too!
-
Looks great, put me down for one.
Does getting married in Wales count for extra points?
-
Great,
Put me down for on,
Joolz

And one for me, os gwelwch yn dda

I bought a Ginsters pasty in Chepstow Tesco on the last Seven Across. I think that was in Wales cos I couldn't read a lot of the signs in there.
-
I'd be up for one as well - though I'm (sadly) not fussed about the PBP addition, as it's not my year .... this time!
Diolch yn fawr / Many thanks - Tewdric - for being prepared to do the work for these shirts.
Just to add - opens door to enter pendant's corner - if 2011 is going on the jersey in words, then it should read
either 'PBP dwy fil un deg ac un' or 'PBP dwy fil unarddeg'
'mil' - when masculine - means 'animal' (that's how 'milfeddyg' - literally 'animal-doctor' - means vet)
So, 'dau fil' means '2 animals'!
'mil' - when feminine - means 1,000, which means that 'dau' has to change to 'dwy' (its feminine form) when it procedes 'mil', and the m in 'mil' has to mutate to an f, because dau/dwy causes a soft mutation on the word following it.
Goes though door to exit pedant's corner
-
It's masculine in the south ;-)
-
Fi mwyn un neu dau.
Diolch.
Andy
-
Go on then.
-
I'm astonished to find that I am eligible! However the colours would clash with my bike, so I cannot order one.
hopefully you'll get enough orders, great enterprise!
-
You are missing the obvious solution.

either 'PBP dwy fil un deg ac un' or 'PBP dwy fil unarddeg'
I'd even go as far as say "PBP dwy fil ac unarddeg"
Even if I was an audaxer, I wouldn't be seen dead in a jersey with a clanger like "dau mil" on it! But what do I know, I'm a gog.
-
It seems to be traditional for big event jerseys to have at least one mistake on them...
-
I'd feel like such an imposter in one of these despite the fact that every single ride in my planned SR enters Wales (Cambrian, Elenith, Brevet Cymru & BCM). I might have to start an off-shoot "f**k the north-south divide, I'm from the Buurmingum" variant ;)

... and I'll go even further (cos I'm a Gog too) and say "PBP dwy fil ac un ar ddeg" - it's three words, not one :P
I'll have a non PBP/Mille version in large please. Diolch boi.
-
Sorry can't read Welsh but design seems to say it all yes I must have one. :thumbsup:
-
They look great! Stick me down on the list for the non PBP version
-
I'll have one, put me down on the list.
-
Very nice, please put me down for one. Rule 2 applies and it'll match my MC1K jersey (think I'll need a bigger size though...) Thanks for doing this.

2. Any audax rider who has completed an audax starting in Wales.
My grandmother was born in Wales, and I spend about 10% of my life in Wales.
Is that enough to qualify?

I'm sure I've seen you on the Bryan Chapman and Brevet Cymru once or twice too.. ;)

Latest design:
Cymru centralised and given a white edge to pop out from the green map,
Wider white border around the side panel text
"Paris Brest Paris Dwy fil unarddeg" on chest if desired.
(http://www.reb.co.uk/audaxcymrufinal.gif)
It will be offered with or without the PBP text.
Everyone happy with that? Unless there are further suggestions I will invite firm orders in a couple of days.
-
Looks brilliant, thanks for your efforts.
Have you established / decided whether DIY perm's qualify? I looks like these may be ready before the first of my Welsh events this year but I could do a DIY from Knighton in the not too distant future or maybe one from Brecon on a club weekend there in a few weeks time.
-
That jersey looks really nice :thumbsup:
I'd like a short sleeve 3/4 zip in a medium please.

That is really nice. I'd love one, but I guess I don't qualify as I don't audax. and I'm not Welshish.
I pass all the other tests, habitation, rides, etc.

You live in Wales, so that counts. You do have to have ridden an audax though (though not necessarily in Wales)
-
What about long sleeved?
-
I likes the design and will definately have 1 please.
-
What about long sleeved?
I hope so, as long as Owayo will do it within the bulk pricing. I hope to offer full length zips too.
-
+1 for full-length zips
-
May I put my name down for one please? Non PBP please.
Thanks.
-

I might just make the default a full length zip.

Keep an eye open for orders opening in the next couple of days - I will start a new thread.

I'd be keen on one, but haven't done Audax in Wales, done a few in Scotland.
Both Parents and Grandparents born in Wales.
Lived in Wales - Chepstow and Cardiff from age 3 till 36.
Married in Wales and daugther born in Wales.
Can I still have one?

Your daughter can, pretend it's for her :)
This years 300,400 and 600 are the Elenith, Irish Mail and BCM
Elenith and Irish Mail are mostly in Wales and loverly bits of it too but of course they don't start in Wales. However, thankfully the BCM start is in Chepstow.
Chepstow is Wales so I qualify!
(also thinking of doing the Dave Lewis 600 which will start properly in Wales)
I love Wales.

Don't forget the Gospel Pass 150, that's my ticket!
