This means that you’ll have to put down your 600 chf deposit through our website (or bank transfer) before this date and we’ll deduct 300 chf from your final price. Keep in mind that we’re only doing one of each of our tours in 2012, so spaces are tight. New Clothing for 2011….in the works We’ve hired a crew of designers to put together even more new offerings for 2011. We’re still not sure which ones will make the final cut, but here are a few of my favorite at the moment These are not your ordinary “custom” jerseys. Most clubs, teams and companies simply have their designs printed on a standard jersey offered by the manufacturer. Our jerseys, however, are designed stitch for stitch this year. This means that we’re able to add lots of cool details: ♦ Ventilated side panels, ♦ Side pockets ♦ Colored piping at the seams ♦ Lasered cut cuffs and waist for perfect fit I’m going to Italy next month to film some of the manufacturing process so that you see just what we’re doing. We’re also working with several other manufacturers to introduce a line of Bike Switzerland helmets and gloves. Oh, and ladies…we’re also going to get you some regular (non-bib) cycling shorts this year New “Podcasts” and iPad/iphone compatible websites Podcasts: We’re going to do our best to put out bi-weekly “podcasts”. You’ll be able to view them in a variety of ways: on our blog, on our youtube channel , and you’ll be able to download them through itunes and play them on your iphone and/or iPad devices. The podcasts will cover everything related to our tours, our crew and cycling in Switzerland. Our first podcast was released just yesterday. Here it is: Ipad/Iphone compatible sites: Because our websites were designed using “Flash” technology, our cool animated pages don’t show up on your iphones or ipads. So, we’re in the process of re-doing our websites in HTML5. This means you’ll be able to surf our sites on your devices and enjoy a bunch of new features. The Bike Switzerland Rentals site should be done by November 1st and our new www.bikeswitzerland.com site by the end of the year ! Bike For Sale Wow…we sold our bikes fast ! About 60 bikes in just three weeks. We hope everyone is happy, (no complaints so far). Anyway, at one moment, I thought we were going to run out of bikes and so I took everything off our webshop. As it turns out, however, we do have a few models left. We currently have one of each listed below: 2010 Alpen Challenge (used): 590 chf + TVA (Retail price: 1,500 chf) / Sizes: 15 inch, 19 inch 2009 Alpen Challenge (used): 490 chf + TVA (Retail price: 1990 chf) / Sizes: 15 inch, 17 inch 2011 Street Racer (used): 1090 chf + TVA (Retail price: 1990 chf)/ Sizes: XL 2011 Street Racer (New): 1,490 chf + TVA (Retail price: 1990 chf)/  Sizes: Small and Large 2011 Street Racer ULTEGRA (new): 1,890 + TVA (Retail price: 2,490) / Sizes: XL Stay tuned to upcoming blog posts for news about: ♦ Latest news on our tour of Gran Canaria ♦ Latest news on our Tour de Suisse tours ♦ New Internship positions with us for the Spring and Summer ♦ Our final choice for our 2012 bikes In the meantime, don’t hesitate if you have any questions…about anything.
