    Hey BNE,

    Well, I am a little surprised at the voting, not so much the total # of votes as which background is being chosen!? I do like the Yellow.

    Here's an old patch that was made about 6 years ago, it has the WHITE background, and is a bit small, so even though it has the silver thread, it just doesn't have the detail that I/we are wanting in this patch!

    But it shows how the bike will show up against the white background. This might change some folks minds about using the Yellow vs. White??

    John, it's a 2-3 week turnaround time from date of order from the company till delivery, so we have plenty of time to get them before the end of the year!

    I have planned on ordering a batch of 100. They do allow batch orders of as few as 50, but it jacks the unit price up ~$2.00 EACH, and so that's why I would prefer to get them all the same colored background.

    SO....I'll wait another week, several XSives are at the PNW 30th Anniv. Rally and may not be able to vote right now. Then by next weekend we should have enough votes to make the decision!
    T.C.

    PS, I'm estimating that the patch price will be about $6.00 ea!

          BTW, IF folks want to change their vote, they'll need to PM me, I can then EDIT the vote counts. Rest assured, I WON'T do it just to ensure that the Yellow gets the votes!

            TC, someone had to be the tie breaker. As I've been paid to break things in the past, I thought it should be me.

              I think eveybody needs to trust TC on this one.While he is gracious enough to make this a democratic process...it seems to me TC is right abt this one...If it turns out the vote is split then so should the colors...if we have to pay a little more I'd say do it anyhow...just my .02 cents

                BUMP

                Just wanted to bring this back up for 1 last day's voting before I close the POLL!

                Right now it's a VERY SIMPLE majority for the WHITE, not a true PLURALITY...definitely not overwhelming!!

                I'm just wondering, and hoping that whatever color is finalized, that those in opposition would still be willing to get one even if it's NOT the color of their choice??

                I'll be placing the order tomorrow....let's see....
                eeny, meeny, miney.........!

                        Hey T.C.;

                        My personal preference is of little concern or consequence. Whichever colour is chosen, I'll still take 2 .

                                So can we assume by the poll that you went with Yellow?
