Any interest in a Paceline cycling cap?

I have done a few sets of custom cycling caps. I just got my last round out the door this week. The caps were 3 panel summer weight caps made by Walz (a Blue Skewer member) and everyone loves them. They are super comfortable and finished with the typical Walz high quality.

I have spoken to the mods and been given the green light to do a round of Paceline caps, if there is enough interest. I don't have a final design worked up yet, but I'm liking this retro Renault cap, but with the Paceline in place of Renault and a few other minor tweaks (maybe a banana)



Barring that, we could just keep it very simple using black, white and yellow and do simple stripes over the top with the Paceline maybe on the brim and sides.



Pricing would likely be in the $21-23 range shipped. This would include a $1/cap donation to the site.

If you are interested, please let me know and I'll get it done. I need probably 2 dozen confirmed orders to make the pricing work. Turnaround from approved design is approx 6 weeks, so these would be delivered in Sept sometime.


PS - The designs are just my first throw out there. I hesitate to open this wide open to a design contest, but I'm open to design suggestions

Count me in - although you know that already. I vote for the castelli, and I'll introduce you to the local guy.

If you are a graphic designer and would be willing to do the legwork on the design, it would lower the cost significantly. I have a graphic designer but she charges $40/hour. Getting all this ready would take at least 4-5 hours so it would be a significant cost savings to have that work done in-house, so to speak.

I have reached out to Walz to see what they charge for design work but haven't heard back yet.

Wouldn't a yellow dancing banana just get lost on a yellow cap?
