    Should anything be inferred about your preferences by where the M-b-M rider is pointing??

    You mean on the t-shirt?

    I miss the M-B-M sticker that was on the K-bike I sold. How can a get more of those?

    Swag is still the preferred term. Bands use it all the time.

    $34.95 for the t-shirt seems a little steep. Did I read that correctly?

    John, just shoot me your address here or on facebook and I'll mail you some.

    Josh, yea, it's steep. I'm looking at other options that are hopefully more reasonable.

    Looking around online and trying a few other services it doesn't look like I'm going to be able to get the price down much at all unless I buy in bulk. The one off prices are much higher, as one would expect.

    I looked at spreadshirt.com to see if I could find a cheaper option, at least a few dollars cheaper, but unfortunately they are telling me they can't accommodate the design because it's too 'thin' for their machines.

    I'll see about putting together a mens t-shirt option. Then it's back to coding. The site is turning into so much more work than I had hoped.

    Cafepress is a company I have a little experience with.

    They don't look any cheaper though.

    I tried to use them as well but their design tool wasn't allowing me to accommodate the M-BY-MC logo.

    I'll have to see what I can do.

    But these guys don't let you set up a store where they handle all the order fullfillment, shipping, etc. I really don't want to have to deal with inventory et. al.

    Or am I missing something?

    Yermo, here's a composite of what a hat could look like with the modified logo I sent (modified to be easier to stitch).

    Thank you so much for all the help. Strangely, I've never done anything like this before but I'm trying to come up to speed at least marginally.

    Without your website this doesn't make much sense for you Yermo. I love the hat but this needs to be a marketing tool since you won't make direct dollars from it. IMHO

    Agreed. I'll include the site address.

    My hope is that expanding the site, getting more cool people involved, being able to ride more will benefit us all.

    Have you spoken to "Gnarly Artly Design Shop" about t-shirts? He might be able to help you.

    Agreed Josh. The part not shown is the assumption that the website is stiched in either below the graphic or on the back of the hat. I was doing this while on a conf call and had limited "shared resources" available

    This place does front and back stiching and says they have no minimums.
