I for one love bargains, deals, and great value. I have a long posting about costs, values, and 'what's worth what' I don't have it handy but it may be available from the guy who is helping write my forthcoming book, as it consumes a few pages in the values chapter.
In the long and yet-edited filibuster I compare many things bicycle to many things non-bicycle.
Count me in for a small, medium, and large, and I haven't seen the design nor seen any postings except for the above referenced.
As one of the members who has a busoiness related to the sport and hobby, I would be more than willing, along with other such interests, to help underwrite the upfront costs and even subsidize part of the cost for the inclusion of a small retro-style logo creatively and artistically placed.
