DO THE TON and DIME CITY CYCLES - Partners in crime (and swag)

I think a little tweeking and thats the one! Great job Ethanol! I like it!

So DCC, do we have a winner?

What do the masses think, would you guys buy one?

Doubt we could actually do it. The VJMC stuff is copyrighted I'm sure.

Thats why it needs a little tweeking! get it close, but not so close as it infinges any copyright laws, make the denied stamp look more like it is stamped on the app, and loose the big white ring.

Cool, I'll mess with it.

First of all I agree about the freight to Canada, it's just stupid. Our dollar is finally at a point where we can afford to order parts from the states and we get hit with rediculous freight charges. I notice that everything seems to be shipped by UPS or Fed Ex, why can't we just ship via regular post? Is it for tracking purposes or what? I know it will take longer but if I can save myself $20.00 in freight i'm willing to wait.(especially if it's for a couple of T-shirts)

As for T-shirts i'm for the large logo on the back and small on front. It's traditional. However i'm a white T-shirt guy. Whats the chance of other colors besides black?

Groovy- Nice work on the logo but I don't think we should be trying to combine DTT and DCC logos. They are both nice on there own. We are not replacing the DTT logo (I hope) we are making an alternate design. I do love the piston graphic though, maybe start with the crossed pistons and put a set of aviaton goggles above them?
As for other ideas I am supprised no one has suggested a checkerd bandana with the DTT logo. It would make a great face mask. Check out the one at the Ace Cafe website.
Back to the T-shirt. I think we need a moto like "Built not Bought"
or "From old to new" in Latin
or " I pull my own wrench"
Ok not the last one! Definetly "Built not Bought" as that seems to be our unoficial moto anyways.
Actualy I would love a small triangular decal like the one used on the engines of Triumphs that say " Do The Ton Built Not Bought". Nothing to big maybe 1"X1"

I'd like a shirt with the DCC logo in 3 or 4 inches over the left tit and a large DTT logo on back. And I dig the denied VJMC shirt, or was it JVMC (junior varsity) ;D

Guys - we don't hate on VJMC or anyone else We're the nice guys remember?

 

[midnightcafe]

Anyone thought of hiring a graphic designer to draw up a design? Rates should be cheap (they're artists, remember!)

 

[Basement rat]

there should be a few around here.

I got a set of carbs for one of my cars shipped up here a few weeks ago. The guy charged me $50, and then shipped UPS when I specifically asked him not to. Brokerage fee at my door was another $150 at my door.

Point is... International UPS can suck it.

You guys are too much sometimes.. LOL. VJMC Haters. I love it, although I don't think we can get away with that.

As it stands right now, we're running a new printing of traditional DTT logo shirts, big and broad right over the chest. Make your way over to Dime City and place an order for a fresh one today. We all know the one you have is covered and grease and you need a nice one to wear to a friends upcoming wedding! And patches...place an order for one of those and start sewing them on at pubs to other bikers jackets while they're getting wasted.

As for the next design...we still need some graphic design assistance I think from the community. All the ideas that have been presented are cool, but I don't think we've hit it yet. Keep pluggin' away guys!

Jason ,

What kind of shirts are you guys using? I ordered one of your shirts in a size Large and it fit like it had been washed and shrunk. I felt like I was wearing a belly shirt.

I plan to get another shirt or a few and some hats just wanted to see if you guys were changing brands of shirts.

Just for the record I have NOTHING against the VJMC. We were just joking that they don't like us cause we don't restore stuff as much as cut it up and make it our own.

More of a dig at ourselves and nothing against the VJMC.

LOL...sorry bro. Yeah, we denote them as slim/vintage fitted. They tend to run a little smaller...we'll be sticking with these for now. Sorry about that bro. I bet you look sexy thought. HA!

 

[Brewer]

I saw you guys at Quaker last wed. The bikes are sick! I just got an RD400 that I want to put a seat on. Do you guys stock the seats at the shop? I wanted to swing by and see which one fitted the bike the best.

Haha...yeah, I am 6'2", skin and bones...loved the fit minus the length. I will try an XL. I figured it wasn't worth sending it back, I will give it to the wifey to wear around the house or something

 

[Tim]

Order a XXXS for the wife to wear around the house.

Alright guys! We got the first run in stock of the classic tee's! Photos are below and they can be ordered here: http://www.dimecitycycles.com/discovery-hd-theater-cafe-racer-tv-swag-apparel-do-the-ton-mens-logo-tee-crtv-dttlogotee.html

4" patches will be in stock in a week or so. We're also looking at doing a run of 10" patches.... We need to gauge some numbers though. Anyone interested?

 

[GroovyAardvark]

put me down for one or two

 

[NocTurNal]

I'm definitely interested in a 10 inch patch. I was initially skeptical about the DTT tees with the large logo on back and small one if front, but it came out great.
