Muy buenas fotos antiguas .Un abrazo desde Lima Perú.

[@bikestrikesrazors]

Thanks very much, Ricardo! Wishing you good riding down there in Lima! :)

You guys look super sharp in those vintage cycling kits. Wow! They really complete the look of those gorgeous bicycles.

[@bikestrikesrazors]

Thanks much, LaSan! I was really happy with the way they came out!

[@taiwan1895]

They remind me a little of old hockey jerseys. And you know I’m interested!

[@bikestrikesrazors]

That jersey collection must be getting pretty big about now, Jim! But there's always room for one more! :)

Being a native of NZ and growing up on a farm wool is etched in my memory. There is also a New Zealand based company called Soigneur doing custom merino jerseys...I'm tempted...

[@bikestrikesrazors]

Hey, Breathe Strong! Shoot me an email at bikestrikesandrazors "at" yahoo "dot" com and if we get enough folks interested so that we can order in bulk and get down to a reasonable cost, I'll let you know. Of course, there's no commitment- This is just feelers to see if we can get enough folks interested in an order.

Very cool 😎 If I rode a diamond frame bike I would want to get a CCW group started here in my capital. I don’t think fancy jerseys are as compatible with our perpetual rainfall. It’s Junuary in the Pacific Northwest. Maybe a trike flag? I really appreciate the history you research and share. Thanks for all your hard work.

[@bikestrikesrazors]

Thanks much, Dan! Yeah, rain and wool makes for a heavy, smelly combination. Stay dry up there! :)

Looks alot like an old carlton football club VFL jersey from Australia

[@bikestrikesrazors]

It does! That letter within a letter was a common design back in the day even though sometimes it was impossible to tell what the letters were! :)

[@SIMETHESHAMAN]

@Bikes, Trikes & Razors! Yeah, they are really cool looking, deciphering them is half the fun

[@SIMETHESHAMAN]

@Bikes, Trikes & Razors! Still find it odd they used to play footy and swim in long sleeved merino wool. Must've been so hot and itchy. All sports actually

[@bikestrikesrazors]

@@SIMETHESHAMAN And that wool usually starts to smell once it gets wet! :)

[@SIMETHESHAMAN]

@@bikestrikesrazors ooof bonus!

[@markfeldman6509]

Awesome video! I live and ride in New England so I am in on the order. Will send the email now.

[@bikestrikesrazors]

Got the email, Mark! I'll keep you updated!

[@francislematt7079]

Wow I did not know Cima Coppi can accept replicating old ones! If there is enough orders to drop the price I would be keen to get one, too! Actually I live in EU so I could save a lot on shipping and customs duties if Cima Coppi can ship one directly to me.

[@bikestrikesrazors]

Hey, Francis! Shoot me an email at bikestrikesandrazors "at" yahoo "dot" com as that's where I'm keeping track of all the folks possibly interested in a jersey. If we do get to a point where we can do an order, it certainly would be simpler if we could get Cima Coppi to just accept all the payments from the interested parties and drop ship right to their addresses!

[@GerardoWuhl]

I'm in for one jersey!!

[@bikestrikesrazors]

Hey, Gerardo! Shoot me an email at bikestrikesandrazors "at" yahoo "dot" com and if we get enough folks interested so that we can order in bulk and get down to a reasonable cost, I'll let you know. Of course, there's no commitment- this is just feelers to see if we can get enough folks interested in an order.

[@colemanweidenbusch4086]

I think I'm on the list from previous contact in April about getting a jersey, but suddenly my email's acting up.

[@bikestrikesrazors]

Hi Coleman. I've got your name on the list! :)

[@chilamzucker5995]

Hi! Couldn't search your ohter platform. May I ask your insta ?

[@bikestrikesrazors]

Hey, Chilam! Sorry, we don't have an Instagram account, although we probably should. :) Thanks for watching!
