Thanks for all the bananas
So it's Kinlin or Farsports for a new venture?

Definitely farsports. Middle aged white dudes escaping their shitty corporate law / property / IT gig during the week and racing c grade fucking love carbon. Mark up is a lot better as well.
Gotta call it something like ‘verve wheels’ or ‘dyna performance racing’

I’d go halves in Verve Wheels with you. We can even claim that one of the founders has “a background in aviation”.

probably the same guy that did dharco
all of these ideas are great ways to rinse money off lemmings and encourage some more consumerism
edit: forgot the most important part.

Hooked folks!
So it's uh, better than carbon. We integrate crustacean dna into our proprietary resin. You know how strong those fucking crab shells are...

The owner of Fist handwear originally comes from Tassie now residing on the Gold Coast (Sam Moore), he was a sales rep for Lusty, Rockstar energy drink and some other major brand but he built up the glove business on the sideline until it took off. He's also in partnership with Dixxion USA (Flannels and shirts). The gloves are sold worldwide.

So are you telling me “anal fist” won’t get me 10% off at checkout?
I’m not sure what it is you are asking or telling me. Man finds asian supplier for gloves, sells gloves with fancy designs and 300% mark up and creates successful company? Bloody good on him. Its an excellent way to get money off people.

I think he knows marketing really well, but the light is burning bright in his head and the man is switched on but yeah, the gloves are just manufactured Chinese stuff.

Honestly, fair play to him. It’s incredibly expensive and intensive to build clothing companies from the ground up and the R&D involved in design, pattern development and testing, textiles development etc before you even get to point of manufacture is immense.
If you can cut some of that initial burden (and importantly expense) out while building a brand identity then you’re better placed to move into that space later. There are plenty of small clothing companies who have started like this (or some version of) - MAAP and Blacksheep for Aussie examples in the cycling space who have grown into genuinely successful companies that have since brought that expertise in-house.
No reason DHARCO or Fist can’t do the same.

I like Dharco, own 3 of their jerseys, a couple of T-shirts and a pair of their gloves. My kids look like they are sponsored by them.
Even about 10 rides in on a pair of Sendy shorts, pretty good shorts for $65. I'm actually impressed with them.

Tell me about it, when riding that logo was perfectly placed, just below the riding up shirt line and just above the saddle line... as soon as we start riding my boys shout out "SENDY"Unfortunately Sendy fails the marketing hype test because of the crappy logo and name
I would say it would peel off if I tried.

It might be a copy or a reject from QC, you don't know until it's in your hand. I bought a troy lee jersey a few years ago (1/4 of the price here) and it was identical, but they removed them from the market with in weeks.Ripped off again

Missing part of the Fox insignia. Probably should go to off the board chat with this before we get an arse kicking.

I seen the same on some of the Faux Fox Jerseys, they cant copy those 'laser cut' air holes without special panels of material.
Yeah sorry Burners, cant believe a thread here got off topic
