For those who sent me a check, I am going to deposit them today.


For those who want one of the surplus caps, there should be 3 small/med and 3 large/XL. Please let me get the full order in and the prepaid orders sent and then I will take your orders. The three people who have spoken up already get first dibs.

Hi Jason,

Checking in to let you know that your caps are finished and will be shipping out today. I'll send another email soon with the tracking number. I just wanted to write before that to say that I see many designs come across my desk every day, and yours has been the best I've seen this year. I'm not blowing smoke here, it's simple, classic, a design (in my opinion), that would be cool for years to come. Did you create it? Heck, I had an extra made for myself to use as inspiration when I need it! Anyhow, stay tuned for the tracking number.

Walz Cycling Caps
Cool!

The caps are here

I have the caps in hand and they look great. The quality is up to par with every other Walz cap, which is excellent.

There is one small issue that we need to address. The yellow color is not exactly what I was expecting. I have spoken to Walz and we have confirmed that they made the caps to the specs that were requested and approved. But the final color is brighter than expected. It is a little bit brighter yellow when it's printed. It's about 1 shade off, closer to 038 than the 037 that was spec'd. This kind of stuff happens when you are dealing with colors. Unless you have a physical sample in hand, it is impossible to know exactly what the final result will be. The end result being that we are going to keep the caps and send them out.

I would like to point out that I have shown the actual caps to a few different people and they all love them. Including Walz. I have no issue with the yellow and will be happy to wear mine. It is just slightly different than I was expecting. Not bad. Just different.

So with that, if anyone is truly torqued about the yellow being different, then please PM me and I'll speak to the mods about what we can do.

So we get lemon yellow instead of banana yellow.

J/k.. It's gonna be post-ride piss yellow after three or four rides anyway. I doubt it'll matter much.

So when do we get em??

I will try and get them in the mail by this weekend. It's a whole production to pack and ship 69 caps.

Can I come over and tap my foot on the floor whilst you pack them?
