[RBW] Green Caffeinated Wheelmen mugs back in, and questions about Riv style pre-oredering.

2014-10-16 Thread Philip Williamson
Presaling the Jamboree shirts and patches was the only way they could have 
happened. It was a big deal for me, and kind of a breakthrough as an artist. 
I'd do it again, but I don't think my bike friends would be that stoked about 
bandanas with Edward Abbey on them.
The presale is the reason the patch prices will never go down. I feel that the 
people with the faith to pay upfront for what is only an idea should never say, 
oh, I should have waited.

Presale good.

Philip, Desert Solitaire is one of my favorite books.  I find myself 
rereading the first few chapters every year.  In Desert Solitaire Abbey 
masterfully conveys the beauty and magic of an area I love and never get to 
spend enough time.  Abbey is an American original, though I don't agree with 
everything he wrote.

[RBW] Green Caffeinated Wheelmen mugs back in, and questions about Riv style pre-oredering.

2014-10-15 Thread 'jinxed' via RBW Owners Bunch
Several listers have asked about green ACW mugs...I've got some made now, 
there's two sizes available. www.bradclick.bigcartel.com

The recent talk about the Rivendell wool stripe shirt reminded me I put a 
deposit on one as to not repeat my missing of the purple version. Generally 
I am not enticed by pre-order type sales of anything, but it seems recently 
that is THE modus operandi out there. Especially noticed in the bike 
industry.

I was pretty shocked with the Appaloosa presale, specifically the give us a 
large chunk of change for a bike we will not tell you aboutaside from 
it'll be neat-o. But, I realize Rivendell makes great stuff, and doesn't 
miss the mark often (if at all?) so that goes a long way in buyer 
confidence. They apparently are successful since they fill the slots and 
sell the goods.

I want to do tees for the ACW, though I've been concerned with how many and 
what sizes so maybe a pre-sale is the answer? That said, I'm not Rivendell 
who can show a picture of a headbadge and have people line up with wallets 
prized open.  

Do you think these pre-sales are a key to bringing cool US made goods to 
market that otherwise would just remain good ideas? Is it a can of worms to 
open up public opinion and influence because you'll never make everyone 
happy? T-shirts are silly, and not really part of the equation, but I AM 
curious about the pre-order phenomenon.

For the record, I am eagerly awaiting the wooly stripy, and had an awesome 
experience with my Ocean Air Cycles Docena pre-order.

Re the Appaloosa pre-sale, I was pretty shocked that I was one of the trusting 
souls who signed up.  But, boy, I’m really glad I did.  My Mystery Bike 
(proto-App) is an awesome bike.
