Association of Caffeinated Wheelmen store NOW OPEN.

[jinxed]

OK...it took me a bit to learn the ropes of setting up and running a store...but I think it's a go.

Some additional items have been added and a concept tee if interest is there.

I may tweak some things once I get the feel but I would love to get feedback too.

This will be a first for this stay home parent, cyclist, artist, coffee dranker....now online purveyor.

Association of Caffeinated Wheelmen STORE

Congrats.  I got my order in.  I'm going to refill my coffee cup to celebrate

[Leslie]

[Scot Brooks]

Who am I to try and resist the allure of a nice lapel pin? Order placed. 

[Pepe Demarest]

Bought one as a gift

They look wonderful!

[Dan McNamara]

Thanks for doing this. They look great.

that looks great - love the button - you're going to need some electric-visibility-color tees to accentuate the theme.

Thanks Brad, love dark roasted coffee but have to stick to decaf as I'm naturally way too caffeinated. Cool pins, I just ordered  few.

When you get around to the tee's, look at American Apparel tees, they are the best in the industry and made here in SoCal.

I'm interested to hear how quick Brad goes through this first batch. A lot of pent up enthusiasm!

Order in. Now I just need lapels...
Not much coin for lasting coolness. I figure I can put off that Pentel Graph 1000 for another week. ;^)

Fabulous!  Placed my order!  Thanks so much for this labor of love.  Riv Chica Warrior

[jinxed]

OK...so after a very overwhelming response...(THANK YOU!!)...I put my wife and daughter to work getting everything packed, labeled, stamped, AND decorated for voyage across the land!

Learning curve is still in motion but I think we got it down. We did end up having to reopen and audit 60 packages after what we will call "the chocolate milk incident" that caused some disruption here at the factory. That said, we only identified one error and made correction. ;) If something is off, hit me up.

Patches sold out. I even came up one short and sent mine to fill it. I'll get more.

Some have made direct inquires that I will respond to once I get the paid orders sorted. Stay tuned.

Everything I have orders for as of 4:09 PM Saturday 6/1/13 will be on the road Monday.

I would like to gauge the interest in the T-shirts.

[cyclotourist]

Awesomeness, Brad!

Cheers,
David

I blew it and missed out on the patches but at least I got in on the pins and buttons. I have two friends that are gonna be stoked to get these. Thanks for doing this Brad. Gotta make sure I don't miss out on the next round of patches.

[Rusty Click]

These look great Brad!  I placed the order, and can't wait to get em.  I'm always up for a cool T-shirt, so if you go ahead with them, I'm in!

You will be wildly successful. I plan on ordering as soon as you get more patches. Finally, a "club" I can join, that fits me to a T. Shirt, that is....badda boom...badda bing.

Hi Brad,

Went to the store and well I'm glad the patches are selling . Wondering when you'll have the next batch up? You can put me down for 2 patches, 2 pins, and 2 buttons. 

Best,

Thanks

Don, be careful! I had my first pin on my Acorn; after a year, one day as I was putting up my bike, noticed my pin was gone :( , which is why I eagerly ordered another. And, is the reason I ordered a couple of patches, so I can stitch them on, and not lose them...

[Don Compton]

Thanks for the heads up.
Don

[Leslie]

I don't want to 'scare' anyone from proudly displaying it, by no means; but I'm going to think about ways to better secure the pin version. (As I had it on my Acorn's flap, I may very well have knocked the back off and not noticed... ). It's such a nice pin, I don't want anyone else to lose theirs....

[cyclotourist]

Whoo-hoo!

So far no problem with the lapel pin after having one for approx four year.

Anxiously awaiting a restock of the patches.  That -- or I drank too much coffee this morning.

[Kevin Mulcahy]

I received my order yesterday. I immediately removed the branded logo patch on my waxed canvas motorcycle jacket and replaced it with the ACW patch. Much more relevant and pleasing to the eye!

Is it just me or does the button look a bit like the Tardis?

-sv

[cyclotourist]

BTW, the patches arae significantly larger than I was expecting. Just good stuff!

Cheers,
David

[Hugh Smitham]

Seth,

If he made a patch with the Tardis I'd buy it! And yes a bit.

Something like this?

or are you talking about the Tardis-y looking Moka button as a patch?

[Hugh Smitham]

Stephen,

I just bought the small patch. Thanks.

Best,

I have already placed another order to restock the patches. Might have them next week.

[Philip Williamson]

I got mine last night (and the MOKA pin, too). Thanks! I was happy for the bonus artwork on the package, too. I'm about to refurbish my Europiccola espresso machine, so I'll really be rolling as a caffeinated wheelman again.

Phillip!!!

I have a Europiccola as well and have been working out some drawings of it to use for a future button or maybe t-shirt!! I thought it would be cool to do an entire series of buttons with different coffee making apparati. I chose the the moka first only because I have a collection of the things. It's very difficult for me to pass them up at thrift stores.

[Philip Williamson]

I'd buy a Europiccola patch, for sure.  

I'm going to try to get to Thomas Cara tomorrow for the seals and all.

Thanks Brad for swag, drawing and kinda words. 

This was bound to happen. Because you know...

Pictures proved that the club exist:

Pin ordered and paid for May 30. Noticed others have already received their merchandise; I have not. I also emailed you a few days ago. Please advise. Thanks.

[Pondero]

Philip, thanks for the encouragement.  I've been a proud pin-wearing ACW since the original batch way back when.  Here's a recent S24O featuring the Bialetti Moka pot...

http://pawndero.wordpress.com/2013/06/08/last-minute-s24o/

Brad, I love the idea of featuring different coffee making apparati.  I could use a couple of new t-shirts, and buttons, and pins...

[tarik saleh]

I also would buy a Pavoni patch. Now we just need to get Cutis Odom to settle on a design for a pavoni tamper, at NAHBS he claimed it was more tricky to downsize the to the pavoni size using the extant design than he originally thought.

Phillip,

That is a crazy blog post on the visit to Thomas Cara, I am impressed that he got pictures of the man himself, Christopher would not let me take his photo when I was there.

Here is my blog post from that day:
http://tsaleh.blogspot.com/2008/04/visit-to-thomas-cara-ltd.html

If you have not visited there yet, tell him the cat guy near Santa Fe says hello.

I like to work on the Pavoni with my campy cone wrenches and other metric bicycle tools.

Later

Tarik

As a former Barista for many years I would be pumped for some more Coffee/cycling merch. A custom tamper seems a bit excessive though. It just needs to be heavy, IMO.
