Eleven Velo

I have a hard time finding woolen jerseys that fit, and the one US company
I patronized is apparently no longer in business.. Anyone ever order from this Australian company, Eleven Velo (www.eleven.cc), that advertises custom fits? Nick?

Yes, I've considered both. I've lusted for one of those Portland/Oregon jerseys for years, but they would look ludicrous on me. Same with the Kucharik. I've also looked at Ibex and Wabi Woolens.

I'm sorta broad-chested but short, so jerseys that fit me in the chest are so big that the sleeves hang down over my hands and are so long in the body that they can catch on the seat when I dismount!

Even with shipping to the US (~$10), the cost of an Eleven Velo (~$114, at current exchange rates) would still be competitive, although I don't know what the cost for a custom jersey is. Like bikes themselves, fit in a jersey is paramount!

No, I'm afraid I had never heard of them until you mentioned them here. I just checked on the Sydney Cyclist web forums as the company's address is in Sydney, but didn't turn up a mention of them there either...
