The new PenCC kits are ready to be produced and we'd like to get an idea how many kits we should order. We're getting bibs for men and shorts for women.This is the same vendor as The Bike Palace black kits to give you a sizing reference. The new kit is a very dark blue. The club member price of the jerseys will be $75 and $95 for the bibs or shorts. Please email me ( This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it ) and tell me if you'll be buying a kit in the next six months and what size you think you'd wear.
