Team Javelin...Team Zoot/Gu...?? (Page 3)

Here's the latest from Brooke at Gu Sports:

Hi Bill,
We sent out one round of acceptances and will send more next week, as well as our non-acceptances. We've chosen to stagger them due to our ability to process them internally, but all applicants will be notified one way or another by 1/25/08. So please stay tuned!

Just got this in:

Told you guys!  Brooke is the woman!!  She rocks.

Congrats again to all.  I look forward to seeing you in your Zoot Gu team gear at the races!

Nah ... given the advent of on-line purchases you are more covered than you think.

I sent mine in last night and did not give it a second thought.

Im in too for year #2!

My cabinet is still full of Gu, but you can never have enough of that stuff when in IM training! 

You should never send credit card info over e-mail.  E-mail over the internet uses SMTP which is cleartext. 

Sorry to sound so IT geeky, but I spent the last 6+ months working on PCI (Payment Card Industry) compliance here at work.

I'm thinking it's in February that correspondence usually starts. If you were in previous years, then you're automatically in again, just log in and fill out the renewal form.

For new applicants I really don't think Javelin has ever refused anybody, but I do know, for the past two years, there have been applicants that got their applications in late  i.e. late spring/early summer and although they were "officially" on the team, Javelin had run out of certain sizes of team uniforms, so they were SOL for getting the $25 Sugoi suit (but they also didn't have to pay the $25 fee, either).

FWIW, those Sugoi suits are head and shoulders the most comfortable on the planet.  I'm gonna pony up the $25 again this year to get another one.

Last year they allowed me to buy an additional 2 pc suit for $45 because they had additional suits left over from the 2006 season (different colour), so I got two singlets and two tri shorts for $70. I'm hoping they offer that again this year. 

Best. Tri. Shorts. Ever.

They also have great Sock Guy cycling socks that have the Javelin logo on the ankle cuff and printed along the side is "Nothing flies like a Javelin" in script - I think they were only $6 a pair, but you'll need to order directly through Javelin bike. That is, if you want to be like Fred

Not sure about Zoot/Gu, but Javelin gets you:

30% off all Fuelbelt products, 20% off NUUN products, 15% off Rotor cranks and Q-rings, 10% off German Lightweight wheelsets, 25% off Zero wheelsets and discs, 25% off Javelin framesets, 15% complete bikes, including road, tri, cyclocross and track, KINeSYS gives free shipping and free trial products with online purchase.

Javelin has a year-end overstock sale for members with even bigger discounts on Zero wheels, components and accessories and special pricing on frames and complete bikes.

Still no word here.  I'm starting to think I got passed over despite being on the team last year.  WTF?  Oh well, thankfully I have 5 cases of GU leftover from last year's point redemption!

No, but there is a new Canadian Team Nathan for 2008 and Gu is one of the sponsors; for multisport, adventure racers, cyclists and runners:
