400K budget and a lot of available sponsor real estate. What will it take for an RM Go Fund Me to get an upside down monkey on their jerseys? Just imagine all the new user traffic it would drive to the site so we could demean n00bs and tell them about the time we scored 3 touchdowns in a high school football game and how much better the world was when people rode in hockey jerseys and hucked loading docks.

Count me in

 

[SylentK]

How many $k's we talking here?

It might be a little late, or not?

What team can use a little RM magic the most? I'd love to see the upside down monkey on a WC UCI level jersey.

(whenever I wear my RM shirt, people, including my daughter, think it's an alien, HAHA)

Somebody once asked me why I had a pig on my t-shirt...

I've had the same once. Said it was a monkey. That got a double take and a look of complete bafflement. I didn't explain.

RM sponsorship would be like the engineering/design consultants, except with 10 different (conflicting) opinions. And at least one of them would be so incoherent, it would look like it had been typed by an actual monkey. The only point of agreement would be that anything that the parts suppliers were providing was total garbage and inferior to stuff they'd made in their bong shed 15 years ago.

 

[SylentK]

If we were to give them some cash. They could spend it as they'd please. Maybe a little RM Slush Fund account. In trade for a little logo on the jersey.

Need Nutella? There ya go.

Non-watered down horse piss beer (Dunne needs a Guiness)? There ya go.

Pinkerton forgot his 5.10's? There ya go.

Wasn't Neko sponsored by Oscar Blues or something? I've never seen their stuff here but are they any good?

God if RM ever had input into a race team it would be the biggest shitshow going.

he was. it was an effort to get some sponsorship funds from outside the mtb industry. their beers are solid. not top tier, but far from macro brews. they do more than IPAs thankfully. they make a really good scotch ale.

ten fidy is an excellent choice as well

i'd contribute to this alone. i bet some folks on vital would kick in for that too

It'd be tons better with us, we wouldn't force the team to become social media whores.

Interesting. I'd have contractual stipulations requiring them to shitpost and listen to our preeminent experts tell them how they are wrong about everything.

Yeah, thanks for the reminder. Not sure how that sponsorship went. But they originally started here in Colorado, IIRC. Lyons? A couple sweet trails there. Nice little town. Decent beers for sure. I think they're in Longmont now in a giant building. Assuming you don't want watered down horse piss, you'd probably like them My go-to is the Dale's Pale ale. Or their Mama's Little Yella Pils. Pilsner for the lighter side. And everything in between. Can't go wrong.

Being sponsored for bikes and beer is pretty much the dream. What a legend.

they opened a branch in the town he lives in here.

wasn't he also sponsored by some coffee drink company for a while too?

Not just coffee, 7percent abv nitro coffee from the netherlands!

Didn't Oscar Blues open some sort of bike ranch something or other near Brevard?

Indeed, my friends and i built some of
the shuttle trails, and ran slalom races there. The “Little Yella Pils” beer was for Dale’ mom, and she was living in the ranch house at the Reeb Ranch (Dale is Front Range via Alabama). Once Granny passed Dale lost interest in the site(an old ww2 POW-built dairy farm on the edge of the old Dupont spy camera film plant property) and sold it off.
Kanuga, The Riveter and Rock Creek popped up all around that same time Reeb Ranch closed, so no one misses it too much, lol

Is that the place that had a large set of perfect looking dirt jumps, beside the road just before the parking lot on lake imaging road? It looked cool..

When we lived there, it was nice having OB's and Lefthand Brewing within just a few minutes from home!

So smooth n chill for someone so young. Can see a big future ahead for the kid

I really can’t believe that a bigger team didn’t pick Asa up. So cool for frameworks to get a WC win on their bike though!

I’d assumed it was the other way round. A bigger team may have offered more money but Neko/frameworks could offer more on the mentoring and management side.

I don't remember the specifics, but Neko said he was giving Asa some form of ownership stake. I'm assuming ownership + the mentoring and management is what did it vs. more in short term $.

 

[canadmos]

Not sure what thread to put this in...but WTF that sucks major. Hopefully they can pull something together for the team, in time for the race next week.

Hopefully they find the frames and the fuckheads who did it.

That sucks bad. Geez seems to happen a lot over there.

 

[jonKranked]

That's brutal. Unfortunately I think the FW bikes are gonna vanish. hardly any of them out there, would be obvious it was stolen if they tried to sell it.

Thieves are pretty daft sometimes. Someone tried to ebay a stolen Honda RN-01 once.

 

[boogenman]

With an unmarked van I think they don’t know what they stole. I say they show up for sale soon.
Sucks for Neko and the team.

 

[Gary]

No
They know exactly what they've stolen.
Obviously targeted.
