Strictly Kit

[Robert Donovan]

Team,

 

As most of you know I chose to race for a new team this year because I wanted to be associated with a group that was serious about winning races and training like a team. The team I chose to ride & work for may be an amateur team but we act extremely professional & work very hard. They also win races. Nelson has chosen to make negative comments about my team, my teams uniform and Westwood Cycles, our new team sponsor. Nelson does not care about racing. He cares about making money. I certainly have no issue with that. I do however take exception to the negative comments about my new team.

 

There was really no need for his comments. After all, we are all just amateurs. There comes a time when you need to choose between racing for a team or just riding & wearing a jersey cause the shop is located in advantageous spot. I've reached that point. No longer will I give any of my hard earned money to Strictly Bicycles. This is a not a personal indictment of the individuals that work there, most are very good people and I will miss them.

 

I have a practically brand new Louis Garneau Kit. This isn't the cheap Giordano stuff that everyone wears. The Jersey and Bibs are both XL. This is the high end kit that was selling for $325. I paid $200. Make me an offer.

Scott,

 

Does a stand up guy bash another Bike Shop for sponsoring us?

 

Does a stand up guy claim that bike shop must be desperate for giving us a greater discount?

 

Does a stand up guy bash another teams Kit for the way it looks?

 

Does a stand up guy brag about selling 985 uniforms?

 

Does a stand up guy brag about taking advantage of wealthy customers?

 

No disrespect Scott but I could give a shit about when he opened his doors or how long you've know him. I've worn that uniform for over a year and half and never got a thing in return. Nelson made it about money by not taking care of the people that are most loyal to him.

I have to disagree with you. Nelson took a huge risk to open a
shop at a time when this country was in one of the worst financial
crisis on record. And it's obvious this is about money. I've
personally know Nelson for 20 years and have seen where he has come
from to where he is now. The business he build is only possible
because he does care about cycling and cares about the people he deals
with. Strictly is limited in how much and who it can sponsor, just
like any other business. Go ask Zipp for something now and see what
answer you get?

I think you should feel lucky that he even considered giving a team
sponsored by another shop a discount at his.

Nelson is a stand up guy and a plus to the tri and cycling community.

Donovan, Its just a sport were taking about. He may have been a little
unethical but keep in mind that there are much more important things
in life then cycling.
