The time is nigh! Spoke to Tommy @ Tineli and all the kit should be in the mail this evening!
If your order (pre-shipping) was more than $200 then you’ll receive an extra pair of socks for free. If your order was more than $400 you’ll receive 2 extra pairs of socks.
I will have extra socks and a small number of other clothing items. Will publish after I receive all the ‘top up orders’ from Tineli.
Thanks for your patience!
Yes, finally, the ARC Kit Store is open for 2018!
The ARC Store will open tomorrow, Sunday 4th March, and will remain open for 3 weeks until Sunday 25th March. No orders after that date!!
Tineli, our kit supplier, make to order. Orders will be collated on the 26th March. Any minimum order quantity issues (ie insufficient orders of an item) will be sorted. Manufacturing and shipping will take 4-6 weeks after Store close.
All items will be mailed directly. There is an additional charge for postage but you’ll get your kit home delivered.
New items this season:
- ¾ bibs – full ARC printing, standard lycra
- Winter tights – full ARC printing, roubaix fabric
- Gloves – ARC logo
- Socks – ARC logo, 2 variants; white and blue
- Sun sleeves – ARC printed, lightweight SPF protection sleeves
Tip: Winter is coming! - Every year, mid-winter, someone says “I wish I’d bought a LS jersey (or jacket or arm warmer, or tights). Think ahead!
Tip: Be a ‘Named’ Rouleur! - Been challenged trying to remember the name of the rider in front of you while doing rolling turns? Problem solved!
- The nickname will now be printed in 2 spots – front of jersey (breast pocket position) and the back pocket.
- Anybody planning to join rides that do rolling turns (pretty mich everything really) should opt for the nickname option!
Tip: Get something free – Socks! - If your order is more than $200 you’ll get one pair of socks
- If your order is more than $400 you’ll get 2 pair of socks
Tip: Check the sizing chart! - The design and manufacturing has not changed. However, please check the sizing charts, especially for items you haven’t order before.
- Some items are missing sizing charts and this is being corrected.
Tip: Long legs, short arms? - Don’t forget sizing adjustments; body length, longer/shorter sleeves or legs.
Any complaints please send a return, self addressed, envelope to ‘The Complaints Department’, Uzbekistan.
Any questions, post here. Follow the KIT link on the top menu.
Thanks and get ordering!

Nice work Russ
Hi,
Would there be anywhere that could try the womens jersey for size
cheers
I do not have any samples of women’s jerseys. I would suggest that you have a look at the sizing charts. The other lady riders may be able to help out with a womens jersey to try. Russell (aka Rusty)
No probs thank you
Would love an XL jersey with Giddyup written on it. Is there anyone I can drop in and see say next Thursday and try on a large and xlarge to make sure I get the right one.
Say Gary the plumber. Do you have a large or xl top I could try on. I am not far from you but I lost your ph number
Would anyone have a size small jersey I could try on?
Thanks
i Rusty,
The site talks about Sports, Race or Pro fit but I do not see any options for these in the ordering – am I missing something?
GarryD
Also, how do we order the free socks? If we add to the order it adds in a cost?
GarryD
Sorry all – have been otherwise distracted.
1. There have been a number of reports problems with completing orders; site not working maintenance among, payments process hanging (happened to me…). Have spoken to Tineli and they are working on it. Should be ok, but appears not to be working. In the mean time keep trying. I will advise if/when I have I have anything concrete back from Tineli. The ORDERING WINDOW will be EXTENDED.
2. There is only 1 jersey style, “Race”. If you like a looser ‘sports’ fit then you will need to order a size larger than indicated by the sizing guide – Tineli recommendation.
3. Free socks – please DO NOT order the free socks. They will be added to your orders when all the orders are processed.
Thanks for your patience!
Rusty
Tineli have advised that they have fixed the payment processing problem. They have also advised that there are a number of orders that had been stuck. They are working through these and will either process them or send each impacted order an email with link to be able to process the payment. Thanks R.
Hi all, as you are no doubt painfully aware we have some challenges with the ordering on the Tineli site!
Tineli have confirmed that this is now all fixed – yay!
The store will be open until end of this week. From there we will do the order review, cleanup and finalisation.
Tineli have advised that there are a number of incomplete orders in shopping baskets.
If you have started but not completed an order can you go back in and complete your order.
Almost all done. Thanks for your patience!
Rusty
Job done!! All orders have been locked and loaded. Free (!) socks will be added to all orders that met the criteria. ALSO for those that ordered caps; they will not be included in your mail out order as I will be receiving the caps directly.
Thanks all for your patience through the ordering process.

Thanks Rusty, kit arrived yesterday,all good!
Will pop around for my new cap at some stage .
Appreciate you doing all the arranging and updates
Adam
no problems! I arrived home from o/s and found my kit had arrived too – haven’t opened the bag yet though.
A reminder that I have all the caps. So if you ordered a cap you’ll need to pick them up from me.
I have a few spare items (esp socks and glove) and will publish the list of ‘extras’ over the weekend.
Thanks all for you patience!
